[users@httpd] Apache 2.4.18 on Windows - Expression in AuthName not working

Hey guys,

I am trying to use an expression in the AuthName directive. The doc 
states that it should be working with version > 2.4.13 :
[https://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/en/mod/mod_authn_core.html#authname]
 From 2.4.13, expression syntax can be used inside the directive to 
produce the name dynamically.


But I can not make it work. I have this in my configuration :
<Directory "C:/Users/troche/Documents/opx2/perso/">
	Options Indexes
	IndexOptions FancyIndexing foldersfirst -IconsAreLinks
	AuthType Basic
	AuthName "%{HTTP_HOST}"
	AuthUserFile "C:\Dev\Apache24\conf\passwords"
	Require valid-user	
</Directory>

And the authentication popup just says "%{HTTP_HOST}".
I also tried to remove the "" around %{HTTP_HOST} but I have the same 
result.

Any idea what I am doing wrong ? Is it a bug ? Has anyone been able to 
make it work ?

Thanks,

Thanks for the quick answer. I'll wait for the feature to be backported to the 2.4 branch then !

Thanks for getting to the bottom of that -- fixed in trunk docs now.

That link to the docs is for the version in trunk (2.5). It would appear 
that the change to AuthName to support expressions hasn't been 
backported to the 2.4.x branch and so only exists in trunk.

Take a look at the 2.4 docs and the comment about expressions isn't there:

https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/en/mod/mod_authn_core.html#authname
