As Pier Fumagalli explains: Apache and JServ does not share the same "filesystem", due to their three-tier implementation...So apache does not have any reference to jserv locations...You should try doing something
<Location /servlets> Options None AllowOverride AuthConfig AuthUserFile /usr/local/apache/security/kit/users AuthGroupFile /usr/local/apache/security/kit/groups AuthName "Digital Workflow Toolkit" AuthType Basic require user fmorton </Location> (If that's valid) anyway you shouldn't use .htaccess w/ servlets, but you should configure it via *.conf This was confirmed to work.
