Directives

auth_wsse
:Syntax:  ``auth_wsse`` [*realm-name* | ``off``]
:Default: ``off``
:Context: server, location
:Description:
  Enable or disable wsse authentication for a server or location block. The realm name
  should correspond to a realm used in the user file. Any user within that realm will be
  able to access files after authenticating.
  
  To selectively disable authentication within a protected uri hierarchy, set ``auth_wsse`` 
  to “``off``” within a more-specific location block (see example).
