Description Nick Boldt CLA 2007-03-20 22:35:15 EDT 
I'm hoping this is a dumb user issue (ie., something I've done) but I can't get .htaccess dir protection to be respected on build.eclipse.org.

I've cloned the set up I have on emft.eclipse.org (which works) but I can't get the password prompt to appear.

Actually the issue is that the directory you are serving from inherits the server default of 'AllowOverride None', which would render any .htaccess file moot.  I've updated the apache config and now things seem to be working fine.
