Re: can anyone explain this "/user/** = authc"

[Les Hazlewood <lh...@apache.org>]

/user/** = authc

means:

Any user accessing the /user url or or any path underneath it must be
authenticated (authc = AUTHentiCated for short).  If they're not
authenticated, the would likely be redirected to the default login page.
