Size limitations in .htaccess

0 votes
397 views

It seems that I've hit a size limitation when adding unwanted IPs to a "Deny From" line.
Is there any place where this is specified?
Also, if I hit the max length on a "Deny From" line, can I add another "Deny From" line?

(Running CentOS 6, and the following version of Apache: httpd-2.2.15-28.el6.centos.x86_64)

You can have multiple "deny from" lines, as well as multiple "allow from" lines (in case you want to configure access like a whitelist).

Multiple lines also help readability.

Consider running fail2ban, and banning them using iptables?

How limit directives at htaccess file

I really don't understand some things about htaccess. Reading, the advice is: never permit htaccess to users. So, can I enable htaccess but only for personalize something like this?

ErrorDocument 400 /errors/badrequest.html
ErrorDocument 401 /errors/authreqd.html
ErrorDocument 403 /errors/forbid.html
ErrorDocument 404 /errors/notfound.html
ErrorDocument 500 /errors/serverr.html

and obviously deny all other directives? so an user with own htaccess file, can only personalize that directives.

IF directive and IP addresses in apache

I'm trying to use the new If directive present from Apache 2.4, to configure an htaccess based authentication for a specific Location based to the client IP address. If a client hasn't an IP address related to the internal VLAN, I would set the password access.

What is the correct syntax to have this configuration? I noticed on the documentation that there is the "-ipmatch" condition, but I don't understand well this feature.
