Authentication

Hello.

I'm pretty much new with Subversion and Apache. Please bear with me.

I was able to setup my Subversion server and I want to limit access to my
repository
to some users. I added the following lines in the httpd.conf file:

<Directory /sample/path/to/my/repository>
    AuthType Basic
    AuthName "Restricted Area. Authorized Personnel Only."
    AuthUserFile /path/to/my/password/file
    Require valid-user
</Directory>

Then I restarted apache (apachectl restart), but when I tried to access the
repository,
no authentication occurred. Did I miss something?

Then I also created .htaccess file to the repository directory and added
the following lines
to the httpd.conf file:

<Directory />
    AllowOveride AuthConfig
</Directory>

Then restarted apache, but it still doesn't work. Can somebody figure out
what went wrong?

Sincerely,
Jerry
