[mythtv-users] Mythweb and Digest authentication

I have this at the bottom of my /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file:

<Directory "/blah/pathToMythweb/">
AuthType Digest
#AuthType Basic
AuthName "Private Files"
#AuthUserFile /someDirectory/passwrdStuff/basicPasswrds
AuthUserFile /someDirectory/passwrdStuff/digestPasswrds
AuthGroupFile /someDirectory/passwrdStuff/groups
Require group PeopleAllowedToViewPrivateFiles
</Directory>

in my digestPasswrds file I have:

personOne:Private:blahdeblah
personTwo:Private:blahdeblah

in my groups file I have:

PeopleAllowedToViewPrivateFiles: personOne personTwo

I got it working with basic passwords first but remember having some 
difficulty getting the exact directives correct when moving to digest. I 
think there are a lot of not very good tutorials on the web so the best 
place is the official apache web-site docs.

I'm pretty sure I didn't change much else as I already had a working 
web-server. I don't use any .htaccess files.

Hope that helps in some way.
