           Summary: Digest Authentication example incorrect
           Product: Apache httpd-2
           Version: 2.3-HEAD
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: Documentation
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: arc@ancpl.com


http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_auth_digest.html shows an example 
configuration for "Using Digest Authentication".

The example is incorrect. They keyword "AuthUserFile" is in the example which 
is incorrect: the keyword should be "AuthDigestFile".

Incorrect example:
  <Location /private/>
  AuthType Digest
  AuthName "private area"
  AuthDigestDomain /private/ http://mirror.my.dom/private2/
  AuthDigestProvider file
  AuthUserFile /web/auth/.digest_pw
  Require valid-user
  </Location>

Corrected example should be:
  <Location /private/>
  AuthType Digest
  AuthName "private area"
  AuthDigestDomain /private/ http://mirror.my.dom/private2/
  AuthDigestProvider file
  AuthDigestFile /web/auth/.digest_pw
  Require valid-user
  </Location>

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_auth_digest.html correctly describes 
the necessary directive.

There are a number of posts on many forums which exhibit symptoms of the 
incorrect directive being used.

Arc.

Seems, you're confusing the versions. The authenticaton code has been revised in
httpd 2.2 and this is part of the changes.
