Re: Cosign on a Sub Directory Only



This was originally a security thought, but I'm not sure our reasons are valid anymore. I think our original logic was not wanting users to turn off/on Cosign if an admin had made it on/off for a whole server, but that might be spurious. Other members of the core cosign team feel free to speak up and correct me if there was a more pressing issue and I've just forgotten it. ;)

Did you want to use it in an .htaccess? Does anyone? Is this something people would like to see changed? Anyone have security thoughts on this matter?

Thanks,
J

sure!

have CosignProtected Off in the conf, and then have

<Directory /home/webserver/docs/i_want_to_protect_this>
	CosignProtected On

On the subject of "CosignProtected":


Are there design/security issues in not allowing it to be used in .htaccess files?
