In your apache config – Eberhart

But I never setup any apache configuration. Is it done by default? Where are these configurations to edit them? – Froehlich

So how do you use mod_wsgi – Eberhart

O am not using it, but it seems that I need it to activate this option – Froehlich

Yeah.. I'll write an answer.. Please accept it – Eberhart

Are you using Apache Server.app version of mod_wsgi? Or are you using mod_wsgi-express? They are the only ways of using mod_wsgi on macOS where you wouldn't have had to configure Apache yourself. If you are using mod_wsgi-express, directly or via Django runmodwsgi, then that directive is set by default. – Thundersquall

Answer 1

If you are using mod_wsgi, just install apache and use it inside your VirtualHost.

And then: WSGIPassAuthorization On

Answer 2

You have to go to /etc/apache2/sites-enabled where your configuration file sits either the one with SSL certificates or the one without and add WSGIPassAuthorization On where the file ends.
