Hi !
The same configuration works fine for me. Since your web-server is not prompting you
for a password, the problem may lie with your .htaccess file. The contents (Apache
directives) of .htaccess are OK. One thing that you can check is whether '.htaccess'
is actually your access file (check 'AccessFileName' directive). Also check the file
permissions (atleast read permission should be present).
