Enabling basic authentication for different directories with different credentials in dispatcher

Separate credential for two different directories:
Create the .httpaccess for different directories

htpasswd -c /etc/httpd/conf/dispatcher.htaccess <username>
htpasswd -c /etc/httpd/conf/dispatcher1.htaccess <username>

Add the below configuration in the httpd.conf

<LocationMatch ^/content/sample1*>
# unsets authorization header when sending request to AEM
RequestHeader unset Authorization
SetEnvIf Request_URI ^/content/sample1* auths=0
AuthName "Please login to access the site"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/conf/dispatcher.htaccess
# first, allow everybody
Order Allow,Deny
Satisfy any
Allow from all
Require valid-user
# then, deny only if required
Deny from env=auths
</LocationMatch>

<LocationMatch ^/content/sample2*>
# unsets authorization header when sending request to AEM
RequestHeader unset Authorization
SetEnvIf Request_URI ^/content/sample2* auths=1
AuthName "Please login to access the press release"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/conf/dispatcher1.htaccess
# first, allow everybody
Order Allow,Deny
Satisfy any
Allow from all
Require valid-user
# then, deny only if required
Deny from env=auths
</LocationMatch>

Restart the dispatcher

Now you will be able to access /content/sample1 and /content/sample2 with different credential

There is another scenario, separate credentials for particular directory and rest of all the directories will use the same credentials.

Create the .httpaccess for different directories

htpasswd -c /etc/httpd/conf/dispatcher.htaccess <username>
htpasswd -c /etc/httpd/conf/dispatcher1.htaccess <username>

<Location />
# unsets authorization header when sending request to AEM
RequestHeader unset Authorization
SetEnvIf Request_URI ^/content/* auths=1
SetEnvIf Request_URI ^/content/sample2* auths=0
AuthName "Please login to access the site"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/conf/dispatcher.htaccess
# first, allow everybody
Order Allow,Deny
Satisfy any
Allow from all
Require valid-user
# then, deny only if required
Deny from env=auths
</Location>

<LocationMatch ^/content/sample2*>
# unsets authorization header when sending request to AEM
RequestHeader unset Authorization
SetEnvIf Request_URI ^/content/sample2* auths=1
AuthName "Please login to access the press release"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/conf/dispatcher1.htaccess
# first, allow everybody
Order Allow,Deny
Satisfy any
Allow from all
Require valid-user
# then, deny only if required
Deny from env=auths
</LocationMatch>

Restart the server.
