I'm trying to protect a /downloads url in apache. My webapp in Tomcat is in ROOT.
So in the workers2.properties file under apache, I have:
# Map the webapp to the Web server uri space
[uri:/*]
info=my website
So my app is working fine .... requests for /* are passed to Tomcat and things are
wonderful.
But I want to protect /downloads using apache. But there really is no directory under
apache called \apache\apache2\htdocs\downloads. There is no need for one since
requests are sent to Tomcat. The real directory is \Tomcat4.1\webapps\ROOT\downloads.
When I remove [uri:/*] from workers2.properties and create a dummy htdocs\downloads
directory under apache, the apache authentication works fine. But when I put [uri:/*]
back, I do not get prompted for ID/Password. Here is what I have in httpd.conf. Any
ideas?
<Directory d:\Apache\Apache2\htdocs\downloads>
AuthType Basic
AuthName "FGIC Downloads"
AuthUserFile d:\apache\apache2\conf\passwords
AuthGroupFile d:\apache\apache2\conf\groups
Require group FGICMoodys
</Directory>
I tried using: <Directory d:\Tomcat4.1\webapps\ROOT\downloads> but that didn't work.
Ideally, I want to tell apache to protect a URL not a file system path, but obviously,
that is not the syntax for the Directory directive.
Windows 2000
Tomcat 4.1.27
Apache 2.0.47
