<h3>Summary</h3>
<p>This module allows the use of HTTP Basic Authentication to
restrict access by looking up users in the given providers.
HTTP Digest Authentication is provided by
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_auth_digest.html">mod_auth_digest</a></code>. This module should
usually be combined with at least one authentication module
such as <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authn_file.html">mod_authn_file</a></code> and one authorization
module such as <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authz_user.html">mod_authz_user</a></code>.</p>

<p>Normally, each authorization module listed in <code class="directive"><a href="#authbasicprovider">AuthBasicProvider</a></code> will attempt
to verify the user, and if the user is not found in any provider,
access will be denied. Setting the
<code class="directive">AuthBasicAuthoritative</code> directive explicitly
to <code>Off</code> allows for both authentication and
authorization to be passed on to other non-provider-based modules
if there is <strong>no userID</strong> or <strong>rule</strong>
matching the supplied userID. This should only be necessary when
combining <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_auth_basic.html">mod_auth_basic</a></code> with third-party modules
that are not configured with the <code class="directive"><a href="#authbasicprovider">AuthBasicProvider</a></code>
directive. When using such modules, the order of processing
is determined in the modules' source code and is not configurable.</p>

<p>The <code class="directive">AuthBasicProvider</code> directive sets
which provider is used to authenticate the users for this location.
The default <code>file</code> provider is implemented
by the <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authn_file.html">mod_authn_file</a></code> module. Make sure
that the chosen provider module is present in the server.</p>
<div class="example"><h3>Example</h3><p><code>
