require-auth
Applicable in PathCheck-class directives.
The require-auth function allows access to resources only if the user or group is authorized. Before this function is called, an authorization function such as basic-auth must be called in an AuthTrans directive.
If a user was authorized in an AuthTrans directive and the auth-user parameter is provided, then the user’s name must match the auth-user wildcard value. Also, if the auth-group parameter is provided, the authorized user must belong to an authorized group, which must match the auth-user wildcard value.
