configure apache to authenticate before connecting to tomcat

Greetings!
I connect from apache to tomcat with mod_jk
I want apache to authenticate before it connects to tomcat.
I have tried using this:

AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /usr/local/apache/passwords
AuthName "Beta Test"
require valid-user


which blocks all apache files apache would serve but allows connection
to tomcat without authenticating.

I have tried this:

AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /usr/local/apache/passwords
AuthName "Beta Test"
require valid-user


and


(etc)

which doesn't seem to do anything

thanx!

Re: configure apache to authenticate before connecting to tomcat

simple typo:

should have been

(leading "/")
thanx!
