     32.. admonition:: Apache 2.2

     34    If you're using Apache 2.2, you'll need to take a couple extra steps. 
     35     
     36    You'll need to ensure that ``mod_auth_basic`` and ``mod_authz_user`` 
     37    are loaded. These might be compiled staticly into Apache, or you might 
     38    need to use ``LoadModule`` to load them dynamically (as shown in the 
     39    example at the bottom of this note). 
     40         
     41    You'll also need to insert configuration directives that prevent Apache 
     42    from trying to use other authentication modules. Depnding on which other 
     43    authentication modules you have loaded, you might need one or more of 
     44    the following directives:: 
     45     
     46        AuthBasicAuthoritative Off 
     47        AuthDefaultAuthoritative Off 
     48        AuthzLDAPAuthoritative Off 
     49        AuthzDBMAuthoritative Off 
     50        AuthzDefaultAuthoritative Off 
     51        AuthzGroupFileAuthoritative Off 
     52        AuthzOwnerAuthoritative Off 
     53        AuthzUserAuthoritative Off 
     54         
     55    A complete configuration, with differences between Apache 2.0 and 
     56    Apache 2.2 marked in bold, would look something like: 
     57     
     58    .. parsed-literal:: 
     59     
     60        **LoadModule auth_basic_module modules/mod_auth_basic.so** 
     61        **LoadModule authz_user_module modules/mod_authz_user.so** 
     62     
     63        ... 
     64     
     65        <Location /exmaple/> 
     66            AuthType Basic 
     67            AuthName "example.com" 
     68            **AuthBasicAuthoritative Off** 
     69            Require valid-user 
     70 
     71            SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE mysite.settings
