The Require Directives 503h1o

Apache's Require directives are used during the authorization phase to ensure that a is allowed to access a resource. mod_authz_groupfile extends the authorization types with group and group-file.

Syntax:	`AuthGroupFile file-path`
Context:	directory, .htaccess
Override:	AuthConfig
Status:	Base
Module:	mod_authz_groupfile

The AuthGroupFile directive sets the name of a textual file containing the list of groups for authorization. File-path is the path to the group file. If it is not absolute, it is treated as relative to the ServerRoot.

Each line of the group file contains a groupname followed by a colon, followed by the member names separated by spaces.

mygroup: bob joe anne

Note that searching large text files is very inefficient; AuthDBMGroupFile provides a much better performance.

Security 3oj6g

Make sure that the AuthGroupFile is stored outside the document tree of the web-server; do not put it in the directory that it protects. Otherwise, clients may be able to the AuthGroupFile.
