<h3>Summary</h3>

    <p>This module is designed to be the fallback module, if you don't
    have configured an authorization module like
    <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authz_user.html">mod_authz_user</a></code> or <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authz_groupfile.html">mod_authz_groupfile</a></code>.
    It simply rejects any authorization request.</p>

    <p>Setting the <code class="directive">AuthzDefaultAuthoritative</code> directive
    explicitly to <code>Off</code> allows for authorization to be passed on
    to lower level modules (as defined in the <code>modules.c</code>
    files).</p>

    <div class="note"><h3>Note</h3>
      <p>Normally there are no lower level modules, since
      <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authz_default.html">mod_authz_default</a></code> is defined to be already on
      a <em>very low</em> level. Therefore you should leave the value of
      <code class="directive">AuthzDefaultAuthoritative</code> as default
      (<code>On</code>).</p>
