Hi All I have a nicely working Apache 2.2 proxying to Tomcat 6 via mod_jk (Ubuntu Jaunty). I need to slap up a quick basic auth user/password on the site to only allow special guests into the site for an initial limited release. I thought I could just put something like this:
AuthType Basic AuthName "Site Restricted to Special Guests" AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/passwd/passwords Require valid-user In my Directory section. This works when I remove the JkMount - but as soon as mod_jk is in play, authentication is ignored and it goes straight through to tomcat. At present I am proxying everything to Tomcat so my JkMount is just: JkMount /* tomcat tomcat defined as worker.list=tomcat worker.tomcat.type=ajp13 worker.tomcat.host=localhost worker.tomcat.port=8009 worker.tomcat.lbfactor=1 In my workers.properties file Any ideas? Is this even possible? From reading various lists and doco it seems to be a quite legitimate use of the modules.
