problem with authentication while doing a redirect
I have a conf file with
<Location /cgi-bin/viewOrder.cgi>
PerlAuthenHandler ApacheAuthentication
AuthName realm
AuthType Basic
Require valid-user
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
allow from 207.173.85.
</Location>
<Directory /home/vshopper/public_html/userpages/orders/*>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
IndexOptions NameWidth=30 DescriptionWidth=38
IndexOrderDefault Descending Date
AllowOverride Indexes AuthConfig
SSLRequireSSL
</Directory>
When I try to access each location, it requires authentication as expected. However when I add the line
ScriptAliasMatch ^/orders/jter/(.*?)$ /home/vshopper/public_html/cgi-bin/viewOrder.cgi
into my virtualhost it does not require ANY authentication for anything that matches the pattern...
Does anybody know why this happens, and can you give me some advice in getting it to authenticate properly with the alias.
Thank you.

<Location> matches against URLs only. If the client isn't requesting a
URL that looks like http://yoursite.example.com/cgi-bin/viewOrder.cgi,
then that <Location> section doesn't do anything. What you probably want is
<Directory /home/vshopper/public_html/cgi-bin/>
<Files viewOrder.cgi>
require ...
</Files>
</Directory>
which is much safer anyway.
