Context Name Description
S V D .h AuthDefaultAuthoritative specifies whether authentication is passed to lower level modules

AuthDefaultAuthoritative

If AuthDefaultAuthoritative is set to Off, authentication will be passed to lower level modules (if any).

Note! Normally there are no lower level modules as mod_authn_default is supposed to reside on a very low level. Therefore it is not advisable to change the default value (On).
