LinuxQuestions.org - Apache 2.0 - mod_auth .htaccess prompt comes up but wont accept

As the title explains, I have a <directory> directive defined in my httpd.conf file and a 'password' file to store the users. I go to the url that has the password protected directory and it askes for a username and password, like it should. However, I type in the proper username and password and it just prompts me again. Yes, I have double checked the password files URL.

Here is my httpd.conf (relavant parts)

Code:



AllowOverride AuthConfig



AccessFileName .htaccess



<Files ~ "^\.ht">

    Order allow,deny

    Deny from all

</Files>





<Directory /var/www/html/private>

AuthType Basic

AuthName "Password Required"

AuthUserFile /etc/users

order deny,allow

deny from all

Require User bkeating

satisfy any

</Directory>

and my password file was generated by;

Code:

#htpasswd -c /etc/users bkeating

I can't find documentation explaining this problem.
