Please, Desperate for Help!

[Bean, Bryon]

Hi,

I'm in desperate need of help and any that you can provide is sincerely 
appreciated. I've configured Apache to force a basic authentication for one
of my Tomcat contexts. My problem is that when the DirectoryIndex is set for
to retrieve an index.jsp I get a HTTP 500 errror. When serving a regular
index.html everything works perfectly. The Apache directives follow:

DirectoryIndex index.jsp index.html

<Location "/piccare">
        AuthName "PIC-CARE Secure Area"
        AuthType Basic
        AuthUserFile C:/Apache/security/password.file
        AuthGroupFile C:/Apache/security/group.file
        require group picUser
        AllowOverride AuthConfig
        Options FollowSymlinks
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
</Location>

include my_mod_jk.conf

--This is my_mod_jk.conf--

    AllowOverride None
