I'm not sure if the above in httpd.conf is necessary. I think by default the httpd.conf in RHEL (w/ apache2) allows you to put .htaccess file anywhere.
I'd try the suggestion below first, wihout changing the httpd.conf and see if it works (except if you've changed the default so that you need to explicitly enable AuthConfig option for the protected_directory).
Not exactly sure what you're referring to when you say "below", but if you're saying that:
Specifying the authorization configuration for a given directory can happen either in the httpd.conf file, or in a .htaccess file within the directory. However, since .htaccess files are additive - that is, an .htaccess for one directory affects all subdirectories - it's more efficient to specify stuff in the httpd.conf rather than make the server search all higher-level directories for .htaccess files which might change the effects of the one in the directory in question.
That said, I use .htaccess files, myself. They're easier to modify independently.
See <http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/howto/auth.html> for more. (That's my source.)
