mod_authn_alias docs patch

Hi,

Patch to the mod_authn_alias docs. Could somebody confirm that
AuthnProviderAlias isn't permitted in vhost context?

The patch is to the 2.2 branch, that being the only relevant branch
for this module.

Thanks Brad,

Sounds like the previous patch is still valid for 2.2, and here's the
change for trunk.

The virtual host parts of this patch would also need to be applied to mod/mod_authn_core.xml in trunk.

There is no server_merge function defined in the module.  So defining the alias in a virtual server would be invalid.

Thanks,
When I try <AuthnProviderAlias> in <VirtualHost> I get this error message:

spork:~/Services/httpd noodl$ ./bin/apachectl configtest
Syntax error on line 34 of
/Users/noodl/Services/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf:
<AuthnProviderAlias> cannot occur within <VirtualHost> section

What gives?

My config (except that APA is now in the main server context) is here:

The directive is defined as RSRC_CONF which basically says that it must exist outside of a <Directory> or <Location>.  Within a virtual host should be fine.
