Summary: Hazarding a complete guess : Wrong syntax?
AuthType
"This directive selects the type of user authentication for a directory. The
authentication types available are None, Basic (implemented by mod_auth_basic),
Digest (implemented by mod_auth_digest), and Form (implemented by
mod_auth_form)." [1]
Not totally familiar with this (just learning it myself) but that gives me
AuthType Basic|Digest|Form|None
Application::Users::Members isn't mentioned in the apache documentation ;->
[2] gives better clues thusly:
"Here is the whole configuration section that requires users to authenticate
before they are allowed to run the registry scripts from /perl/:
<Location /perl/>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::Registry
PerlAuthenHandler MyApache2::SecretLengthAuth
Options +ExecCGI
AuthType Basic
AuthName "The Gate"
Require valid-user
</Location>
"
I'm sure you can extrapolate the information in that article and particularly
that config snippet given above to your particular situation.
Please note that article's use of the Require Directive more on which can be
found in [3]
Good luck and kind regards
