I have just tried this. The authentication now seems to work okay, but there is still an problem with handling the root directory. If I request http://x.y.z/croot (without trailing slash) I am prompted for a username and password, then Apache tells the browser that /croot was not found. This strange behaviour is explained by the entry in the error log: d:\Apache\Apache.exe: [Tue Feb 02 17:36:52 1999] [error] [client 194.66.234.253] File does not exist: d:/pub/wwwroot/croot So it still does not work properly for me.
