Public bug reported:

OS: Ubuntu 1604
Apache2: 2.4.18-2ubuntu

Using DBD authentication using a Postgresql database for specific files
seems impossible. The following configuration entries seems only to be
allowed in global area (VirtualHost element) of a host definition.
Putting it in a <Directory> element causes Apache not to start up:

DBDriver pgsql
DBDParams "host=127.0.0.1 port=5432 dbname=userdb user=www password=www"
DBDMin  2
DBDKeep 4
DBDMax  10
DBDExptime 300

The AuthDBDUserPWQuery parameter is not allowed in VirtualHost element.
It causes "AuthDBDUserPWQuery not allowed here" on apache startup.
Putting it in a <Directory> element is allowed, but if I then try to
activate this authentication via a .htaccess file, It produces "AH01654:
No AuthDBDUserPWQuery has been specified" in error log.

I AuthDBDUserPWQuery is defined in either the global section or in a <FilesMatch> element causes 
".htaccess: AuthDBDUserPWQuery not allowed here" in error log.

Adding any of DB... parameters listed earlier in .htaccess also does not
work. So it seems there is no way to configure DBD authentication.
