Then do a little extra work and setup a test site that doesn't have any confidentiality issues and recreate the problem there.

I think you need to read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html "It does not work" can mean at least a half dozen different things in this context. > I do not know what .NET CLR is. Sounds like MS .NET (which I am not using). This is just how your browser identifies itself. Not important. > I did not know what to put for AuthDBMType. I tried default and DB. What is > the correct value? Docs did not specify what to use. Depends on how your apache is compiled. Omitting this directive will get you the default, which will probably work. But this is not your current problem. If this directive was set incorrectly but everything else was right, you'd get a message in the error.log. > > I commented out > > AuthName O > Require valid-user > AllowOverride AuthConfig Options > > and it still does not ask for auth.

And it would have been easily noticed by others before if you hadn't obscured your config file.
