| AuthDefaultAuthoritative | S V D .h | specifies whether authentication is passed to lower level modules | 
AuthDefaultAuthoritative
   If
   
    AuthDefaultAuthoritative
   
   is set to
   
    Off
   
   ,
  authentication will be passed to lower level modules (if any).
  
   
    Note!
   
   Normally
  there are no lower level modules as
   
    mod_authn_default
   
   is supposed
  to reside on a very low level. Therefore it is not advisable to change the default
  value (
   
    On
   
   ).
