Since switching from Apache 2.2 authorization gets bypassed for many JkMounts (except jk-status). If I cancel the browser password popup, I get a 401-page. It is not, as I expect, the one from Apache, but instead from JBoss, which it shouldn't have been allowed to talk to. (I found this because unauthorized users are talking to JBoss.)

On the receiving end we have both JBoss 4 and Wildfly 7. This is both with "Apache/2.4.3 (Unix) mod_jk/1.2.37" and "Apache/2.4.10 (Unix) mod_jk/1.2.40". Configuration is always like

<Location /XYZ/*>
    JkMount XYZ
    AuthType basic
    AuthUserFile conf/passwd/XYZ
    AuthName "XYZ security"
    Require valid-user
</Location>

I even have a case where the identical setup (worker definition, <Location>, file permission and content) works on 2.4.3 but not on 2.4.10. For other JkMounts both versions behave wrongly. If I raise the debug level, I don't see anything about how it parses this. When I call the URL, it says there is no directive protecting it.

It doesn't make a difference whether AuthName is the same as the Realm in JBoss or not.


Hi.
I think that the problem may be the scope of the "JkMount" that you have above.
I do not think that it is limited to your <Location> section. It may be "global", even when it is in that section.

Can you try instead :

<Location /XYZ/*>
     SetHandler jakarta-servlet
     AuthType basic
     AuthUserFile conf/passwd/XYZ
     AuthName "XYZ security"
     Require valid-user
</Location>
