## AuthName

Syntax: AuthName auth-domain
Context: directory, .htaccess

Status: core

This directive sets the name of the authorization realm for a directory. This realm is given to the client so that the user knows which username and password to send. `AuthName` takes a single argument; if the realm name contains spaces, it must be enclosed in quotation marks. It must be accompanied by AuthType and require directives, and directives such as AuthUserFile and AuthGroupFile to work.
