Thanks for the response Graham, given your questions i trimmed down and
reworked my vhost config and found my mistake. First it ran the script,
but did not require authentication to the WSGIScriptAlias target, but did
require auth if you requested the directory contents (which it should). As
soon as i changed the container requiring authentication to a <Location>
and not a <Directory>, it worked as desired/hoped/thought.
Thanks
Jeff
Relevant config for anyone who comes across a similar issue. This is
