authorization but not for index.html

[HobbyMan]

I want my document root to be authenticated for everything
but the "index.html" file. Basically I want users to be
able to see the index page before they have to
authenticate. I would then authenticate for everything
else.

Is that possible?

You should be able to do something like this:

<Files ~ &quot;[^i][^n][^d][^e][^x][^\.][^h][^t][^m][^l]&quot;>
AuthName etc.
</Files>

There is probably some easier way of doing it, but this was the first thing that I came to think of. //Daniel
