Question

In Apache I have set basic authentication for /protected location. Now i need to bypass authetication for a specific ip address but keep auth for others intact. Can anyone guide me on this one. Here is my current snippet of auth protected location.

Location "/protected" Order allow,deny Allow from all

AuthName "Protected folder" AuthType Basic AuthUserFile /etc/htpasswd require valid-user /Location

Satisfy Any
AuthType Basic
