This is exactly (except for the paths, of course) what I have now configured as an attempt to require authentication for our ViewVC service.  It does not work.  ViewVC displays the pages as before, wide open.

- I have restarted Apache between configuration file changes.
- I put a bogus directive in the <Location> block a proved with a start error from Apache that the configuration file is being read.
- Proceeding to the Subversion browser URL pops the user ID and password box but going to ViewVC does not.

I'm baffled that it will not work.  What more can I try to debug this issue?
