Restricting Access Using Apache Server and Tomcat

[Tom Santos <to...@tomsantos.com>]

I've sucessfully plugged Tomcat into Apache but I really really need to put
password protection on a directory that I'm serving JSPs out of.  I know how
to restrict access to normal directories in Apache but I can't figure out
how to do it for Tomcat directories.  For example, how would you put
password protection on the "examples" directory in the Tomcat distribution?

in tomcat.conf put, for example:

ApJServMount /examples /root

<Location /examples>
AuthType Basic
AuthName "For internal users only"
AuthUserFile /usr/local/apache/auth/htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /usr/local/apache/auth/htgroup
AuthType Basic

<Limit GET POST>
require group demo
</Limit>
</Location>
