[Bug 65132] New: en/howto/auth.html authn authz mixup

https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=65132

            Bug ID: 65132
           Summary: en/howto/auth.html authn authz mixup
           Product: Apache httpd-2
           Version: 2.4.46
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: trivial
          Priority: P2
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: docs@httpd.apache.org
          Reporter: calestyo@scientia.net
  Target Milestone: ---

Hey.

In en/howto/auth.html there's the sentence:
"One of the side effects of adopting a provider based mechanism for
authentication is that the previous"

Probably "authorization" is meant here, as this is the new thing introduced
with 2.4's Require and friends.

Cheers,
Chris.

--- Comment #1 from Rich Bowen <rb...@apache.org> ---
Fixed — changed "authentication" to "authorization" in the Access
Control backwards compatibility section. The provider-based mechanism
replacing Order/Allow/Deny/Satisfy is indeed about authorization,
not authentication.

Patched in r1933461 (trunk), r1933462 (2.4).
