Milt, Let me lay out the setup here -- Apache is setup to host multiple Virtual Hosts. Such that...
http://intranet1/ Has a docbase of /drives/a/webapps/intranet1 http://intranet2/ Has a docbase of /drives/a/webapps/intranet2 etc... So how could I use the <Location> tag and not affect the other Virtual hosts. I simply want to force authentication for the virtual host "intranet1" only. I figured adding a <Directory> tag for "/drives/a/webapps/intranet1" would do it, but it doesn't.
