Invalid command "AuthType"

[zlunchbox]

Hello! I don't have much experience configuring Apache and I'm encountering a frustrating error.

I'm installing mod_auth_openidc on a RHEL 7.9 system, with Apache 2.4.6. I've followed the "quickstart" installation and setup guide, placing a <Location> ... </Location> block as shown into my config. But, when I go to restart apache, I get:

Invalid command 'AuthType', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

Here are my loaded modules:

Loaded Modules:
 core_module (static)
 so_module (static)
 http_module (static)
 access_compat_module (shared)
 authz_core_module (shared)
 dir_module (shared)
 headers_module (shared)
 log_config_module (shared)
 mime_module (shared)
 rewrite_module (shared)
 unixd_module (shared)
 mpm_prefork_module (shared)
 proxy_module (shared)
 proxy_http_module (shared)
 proxy_wstunnel_module (shared)
 systemd_module (shared)
 auth_openidc_module (shared)
 nss_module (shared)

And the config that's causing the issue:

<Location /endpoint>
  AuthType openid-connect
  Require valid-user
</Location>

Am I missing a dependent module? Any insight is much appreciated, thanks!

My suspicion was correct. Though I'm experiencing a different issue now, I got passed the configuration syntax errors by enabling mod_authn_core, mod_authz_core, and mod_authz_user, which the documentation seems to presume you'll have enabled.

For other Apache neophytes like me, for Apache 2.4, you'll likely find these modules and their LoadModule statement in /etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/00-base.conf.
