Further information:
AuthType Basic AuthName "secure area" require group staff require user webmasterwhich would result in the protected directory being accessible only by members of the "staff" group and by the user "webmaster". For more information, see AuthType, AuthName and require.
Because a server might contain several authentication modules, mod_auth_pam includes directives to improve interaction with other authentication modules.
This directive turns mod_auth_pam on or off. If turned off, the server will behave as if mod_auth_pam is not there.
Access policy if a username is not found. This directive is usefull if multiple authentication modules are used. In case a given username is not found by mod_auth_pam, normal behaviour is to directly return an error to the user, thus bypassing other authentication modules. Switching AuthPAM_Fallthrough on will make Apache ask other authentication modules if mod_auth_pam can't find the user.
