+<h3>Summary</h3>
+
+ <p>The directives provided by <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authz_host.html">mod_authz_host</a></code> are
+ used in <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#directory">&lt;Directory&gt;</a></code>,
+ <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#files">&lt;Files&gt;</a></code>, and
+ <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#location">&lt;Location&gt;</a></code> sections
+ as well as <code><a href="core.html#accessfilename">.htaccess</a>
+ </code> files to control access to particular parts of the server.
+ Access can be controlled based on the client hostname, IP address, or
+ other characteristics of the client request, as captured in <a href="../env.html">environment variables</a>. The <code class="directive"><a href="#allow">Allow</a></code> and <code class="directive"><a href="#deny">Deny</a></code> directives are used to
+ specify which clients are or are not allowed access to the server,
+ while the <code class="directive"><a href="#order">Order</a></code>
+ directive sets the default access state, and configures how the
+ <code class="directive"><a href="#allow">Allow</a></code> and <code class="directive"><a href="#deny">Deny</a></code> directives interact with each
+ other.</p>
+
+ <p>Both host-based access restrictions and password-based
+ authentication may be implemented simultaneously. In that case,
+ the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#satisfy">Satisfy</a></code> directive is used
+ to determine how the two sets of restrictions interact.</p>
+
+ <p>In general, access restriction directives apply to all
+ access methods (<code>GET</code>, <code>PUT</code>,
+ <code>POST</code>, etc). This is the desired behavior in most
+ cases. However, it is possible to restrict some methods, while
+ leaving other methods unrestricted, by enclosing the directives
+ in a <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#limit">&lt;Limit&gt;</a></code> section.</p>

+ <p>The <code class="directive">Allow</code> directive affects which hosts can
+ access an area of the server. Access can be controlled by
+ hostname, IP Address, IP Address range, or by other
+ characteristics of the client request captured in environment
+ variables.</p>
+
+ <p>The first argument to this directive is always
+ <code>from</code>. The subsequent arguments can take three
+ different forms. If <code>Allow from all</code> is specified, then
+ all hosts are allowed access, subject to the configuration of the
+ <code class="directive"><a href="#deny">Deny</a></code> and <code class="directive"><a href="#order">Order</a></code> directives as discussed
+ below. To allow only particular hosts or groups of hosts to access
+ the server, the <em>host</em> can be specified in any of the
+ following formats:</p>
+
+ <dl>
+ <dt>A (partial) domain-name</dt>
+
+ <dd>
+ <div class="example"><h3>Example:</h3><p><code>
+ Allow from apache.org<br />
+ Allow from .net example.edu
+ </code></p></div>
+ <p>Hosts whose names match, or end in, this string are allowed
+ access. Only complete components are matched, so the above
+ example will match <code>foo.apache.org</code> but it will not
+ match <code>fooapache.org</code>. This configuration will cause
+ Apache to perform a double reverse DNS lookup on the client IP
+ address, regardless of the setting of the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#hostnamelookups">HostnameLookups</a></code> directive. It will do
+ a reverse DNS lookup on the IP address to find the associated
+ hostname, and then do a forward lookup on the hostname to assure
+ that it matches the original IP address. Only if the forward
+ and reverse DNS are consistent and the hostname matches will
+ access be allowed.</p></dd>
+
+ <dt>A full IP address</dt>
+
+ <dd>
+ <div class="example"><h3>Example:</h3><p><code>
+ Allow from 10.1.2.3<br />
+ Allow from 192.168.1.104 192.168.1.205
+ </code></p></div>
+ <p>An IP address of a host allowed access</p></dd>
+
+ <dt>A partial IP address</dt>
+
+ <dd>
+ <div class="example"><h3>Example:</h3><p><code>
+ Allow from 10.1<br />
+ Allow from 10 172.20 192.168.2
+ </code></p></div>
+ <p>The first 1 to 3 bytes of an IP address, for subnet
+ restriction.</p></dd>
+
+ <dt>A network/netmask pair</dt>
+
+ <dd>
+ <div class="example"><h3>Example:</h3><p><code>
+ Allow from 10.1.0.0/255.255.0.0
+ </code></p></div>
+ <p>A network a.b.c.d, and a netmask w.x.y.z. For more
+ fine-grained subnet restriction.</p></dd>
+
+ <dt>A network/nnn CIDR specification</dt>
+
+ <dd>
+ <div class="example"><h3>Example:</h3><p><code>
+ Allow from 10.1.0.0/16
+ </code></p></div>
+ <p>Similar to the previous case, except the netmask consists of
+ nnn high-order 1 bits.</p></dd>
+ </dl>
+
+ <p>Note that the last three examples above match exactly the
+ same set of hosts.</p>
+
+ <p>IPv6 addresses and IPv6 subnets can be specified as shown
+ below:</p>
+
+ <div class="example"><p><code>
+ Allow from 2001:db8::a00:20ff:fea7:ccea<br />
+ Allow from 2001:db8::a00:20ff:fea7:ccea/10
+ </code></p></div>
+
+ <p>The third format of the arguments to the
+ <code class="directive">Allow</code> directive allows access to the server
+ to be controlled based on the existence of an <a href="../env.html">environment variable</a>. When <code>Allow from
+ env=<var>env-variable</var></code> is specified, then the request is
+ allowed access if the environment variable <var>env-variable</var>
+ exists. The server provides the ability to set environment
+ variables in a flexible way based on characteristics of the client
+ request using the directives provided by
+ <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_setenvif.html">mod_setenvif</a></code>. Therefore, this directive can be
+ used to allow access based on such factors as the clients
+ <code>User-Agent</code> (browser type), <code>Referer</code>, or
+ other HTTP request header fields.</p>
+
+ <div class="example"><h3>Example:</h3><p><code>
+ SetEnvIf User-Agent ^KnockKnock/2\.0 let_me_in<br />
+ &lt;Directory /docroot&gt;<br />
+ <span class="indent">
+ Order Deny,Allow<br />
+ Deny from all<br />
+ Allow from env=let_me_in<br />
+ </span>
+ &lt;/Directory&gt;
+ </code></p></div>
+
+ <p>In this case, browsers with a user-agent string beginning
+ with <code>KnockKnock/2.0</code> will be allowed access, and all
+ others will be denied.</p>
+
+</div>
+<div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="../images/up.gif" /></a></div>

+
+ <dd>Only those hosts which appear on the <code class="directive"><a href="#allow">Allow</a></code> list and do not appear on
+ the <code class="directive"><a href="#deny">Deny</a></code> list are
+ granted access. This ordering has the same effect as <code>Order
+ Allow,Deny</code> and is deprecated in favor of that
+ configuration.</dd>
+ </dl>
+
+ <p>Keywords may only be separated by a comma; <em>no whitespace</em> is
+ allowed between them. Note that in all cases every <code class="directive"><a href="#allow">Allow</a></code> and <code class="directive"><a href="#deny">Deny</a></code> statement is evaluated.</p>
+
+ <p>In the following example, all hosts in the apache.org domain
+ are allowed access; all other hosts are denied access.</p>
+
+ <div class="example"><p><code>
+ Order Deny,Allow<br />
+ Deny from all<br />
+ Allow from apache.org
+ </code></p></div>
+
+ <p>In the next example, all hosts in the apache.org domain are
+ allowed access, except for the hosts which are in the
+ foo.apache.org subdomain, who are denied access. All hosts not
+ in the apache.org domain are denied access because the default
+ state is to deny access to the server.</p>
+
+ <div class="example"><p><code>
+ Order Allow,Deny<br />
+ Allow from apache.org<br />
+ Deny from foo.apache.org
+ </code></p></div>
+
+ <p>On the other hand, if the <code class="directive">Order</code> in the last
+ example is changed to <code>Deny,Allow</code>, all hosts will
+ be allowed access. This happens because, regardless of the
+ actual ordering of the directives in the configuration file,
+ the <code>Allow from apache.org</code> will be evaluated last
+ and will override the <code>Deny from foo.apache.org</code>.
+ All hosts not in the <code>apache.org</code> domain will also
+ be allowed access because the default state will change to
+ <em>allow</em>.</p>
+
+ <p>The presence of an <code class="directive">Order</code> directive can affect
+ access to a part of the server even in the absence of accompanying
+ <code class="directive"><a href="#allow">Allow</a></code> and <code class="directive"><a href="#deny">Deny</a></code> directives because of its effect
+ on the default access state. For example,</p>
+
+ <div class="example"><p><code>
+ &lt;Directory /www&gt;<br />
+ <span class="indent">
+ Order Allow,Deny<br />
+ </span>
+ &lt;/Directory&gt;
+ </code></p></div>
+
+ <p>will deny all access to the <code>/www</code> directory
+ because the default access state will be set to
+ <em>deny</em>.</p>
+
+ <p>The <code class="directive">Order</code> directive controls the order of access
+ directive processing only within each phase of the server's
+ configuration processing. This implies, for example, that an
+ <code class="directive"><a href="#allow">Allow</a></code> or <code class="directive"><a href="#deny">Deny</a></code> directive occurring in a
+ <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#location">&lt;Location&gt;</a></code> section will
+ always be evaluated after an <code class="directive"><a href="#allow">Allow</a></code> or <code class="directive"><a href="#deny">Deny</a></code> directive occurring in a
+ <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#directory">&lt;Directory&gt;</a></code> section or
+ <code>.htaccess</code> file, regardless of the setting of the
+ <code class="directive">Order</code> directive. For details on the merging
+ of configuration sections, see the documentation on <a href="../sections.html">How Directory, Location and Files sections
+ work</a>.</p>
