AccessFileName
AccessFileName
gives authority to the files

in it and its subdirectories.

AccessFileName .myaccess1, myaccess2 ...
Restart Apache (since the AccessFileName
has to be
read at startup). You might expect that you could limit
AccessFileName
to .myaccess
in some particular directory, but not elsewhere. You
can’t — it is global (well, more global than
per-directory). Try editing ... /conf/httpd.conf
to read:
<Directory /usr/www/APACHE3/site.htaccess/htdocs/salesmen> AccessFileName .myaccess </Directory>
Apache complains:

As we have said, this file is found and parsed on each access, and this takes time. When a client requests access to a file /usr/www/APACHE3/site.htaccess/htdocs/salesmen/index.html, Apache searches for the following:
/.myaccess
/usr/.myaccess
/usr/www/APACHE3/.myaccess
/usr/www/APACHE3/site.htaccess/.myaccess
/usr/www/APACHE3/site.htaccess/htdocs/.myaccess

This multiple search also slows business down. You can turn multiple searching off, making a noticeable difference to Apache’s speed, with the following directive:
<Directory /> AllowOverride none </Directory>
