Guess you've forgot the "Satisfy" directive.

Hi,
I have some problems with the user authentication. I have added this to
the httpd.conf (apache-1.3) file.
<Directory /usr/lib/cgi-bin/downloader/>
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Restricted area"
AuthUserFile /etc/apache/passwd/passwords
Require user downloader
</Directory>
But on accessing this
http://cs.annauniv.edu/cgi-bin/downloader/index.py
location, it doesn't ask for username/password. Apache error log was
clean. What might have gone wrong.
Before that I have created the password file using `htpasswd`. I followed
everthing given the documentation.
Here is my httpd.conf file
