<description>Authentication fallback module</description>
<status>Base</status>
<identifier>authn_default_module</identifier>
<compatibility>Available in Apache 2.1 and later</compatibility>

<p>This module is designed to be the fallback module, if you don't
have configured an authentication module like
<module>mod_auth_basic</module>. It simply rejects any
credentials supplied by the user.</p>

<usage>
<p>Setting the <directive>AuthDefaultAuthoritative</directive> directive
explicitly to <code>Off</code> allows for authentication to be passed on
files).</p>
<note><title>Note</title>
<p>Normally there are no lower level modules, since
<module>mod_authn_default</module> is defined to be already on
a <em>very low</em> level. Therefore you should leave the value of
<directive>AuthDefaultAuthoritative</directive> as default
(<code>On</code>).</p>
