Allow access to one file

Hello all,

I have site whose docroot is protected by LDAP authentication.

In the docroot i have one file, "xml.php" that I need to exclude from
this authentication.

I have been mucking around with <Files>, <FilesMatch>, etc. wiht no
success.

Here's my .htaccess in the docroot, but I *do* have access to
httpd.conf if needed:

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Protected Content"
AuthBasicProvider "ldap"
AuthLDAPURL "ldap://LDAP-HOST:PORT/DC=example,DC=com?uid?
sub?(objectClass=user)"
AuthLDAPBindDN ldap-search@example.com
AuthLDAPBindPassword "p@55ww0rd"
authzldapauthoritative Off
require valid-user

<FilesMatch "^xml\.php">
Allow from all
</FilesMatch>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

A little help? Anyone?

Rearrange your directory/virtual host.
.... Allow from all
<FilesMatch "!^xml\.php">
AuthType, etc.
</FilesMatch>

The problem with your configuration is that the authorization applies to
everything in that directory/virtual host.

Thanks! I tried this, but while it doesn't error, apache now does not
prompt for ANY files...

It almost seems like the bang is being interpreted as part of the
pattern, and not as logical inversion. I have not seen this syntax,
nor have been able to find any docs on it...

pointers?
