This is an addition to a thread from a day or two ago. I didn't pay much attention to it then, because it wasn't something I needed to worry about -- but things change quickly, and now I do need to worry about it :-). Anyway, it was a thread started by Josh Landin, with contributions from Jacob Kjome and John Turner (and others). Josh was having some trouble trying to get Apache to handle authentication on some resources that were to be handled by Tomcat. Here is one of the later messages in the thread from Jacob Kjome:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=tomcat-user&m=102805925323917&w=2 I'm not sure Josh fully appreciated what Jacob was getting at in it. Basically, Directory and Location directives can be used similarly, but Directory is used for actual directories in the filesystem, while Location is used for URLs (URL prefixes, i.e. virtual directories, I guess). I had to do something similar, and I got it working, but it took playing around with the URL specified in the Location directive to do so. So anyone, my main reason for posting this is to suggest to Josh that he try using a Location directive, but play around with the URL in it to get the behavior he desires. It'd be helpful to consider what URLs he wants to have the Location directive applied to.
