problem with Require

hello there !

i wanna restrict the content of a certain dir
so i ve created a user file with
htpasswd -c file user1

then i ve put

<Directory /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/dir>
AuthName test
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile file
Require user
</Directory>

in my httpd.conf file
then started httpd

unfortunately when doing this it doesn t work and tell me
when trying to access http://127.0.0.1/dir
that authorization failed

so i tried with

Require valid-user

instead , and then it works ...

any idea why i can t specify users with the Require directive ?

thanx

Assuming that what you have above is verbatim without typos, you haven't
finished the require statemnet, try:

Require user user1
