Orbeon and Apache auth - need help

Hi folks.

Could anybody help me how to secure Form Builder from unauthorised access?

I tried to do it using Apache front-end as described at http://wiki.orbeon.com/forms/doc/user-guide/form-runner-user-guide#TOC-Form-Runner-access-and-authenticati

I have in httpd conf:
    <LocationMatch /orbeon-3.8.0.post.201012130847-CE/fr/orbeon/builder>
        AuthType Basic
        AuthName "Orbeon Forms"
        AuthUserFile /var/www/htpasswd
        Require valid-user
    </LocationMatch>
(Complete conf is below if necessary).

It allows anonymous user to access published forms and requires auth for Form Builder access - great.

But after I enter correct login/password I see empty summary of Form Builder (no form definitions). In orbeon.log I see the following:

2010-12-13 19:56:55,077 INFO  ProcessorService  - /fr/service/exist/search/orbeon/builder - Received request
2010-12-13 19:56:55,330 ERROR XFormsServer  - xforms-submit-error - response {status code: "401"}
2010-12-13 19:56:55,331 ERROR XFormsServer  - xforms-submit-error - response headers {content-type: "text/html;charset=utf-8", connection: "close", www-authenticate: "Basic realm="exist"", content-length: "954", date: "Mon, 13 Dec 2010 16:56:55 GMT"}
...(Complete log is below.)...

It looks like accessing eXist requires some kind of credentials now. But why? LocationMatch should not match.

Could anybody please tell me what I did wrong?


Best regards,
Alexey

P.S. I use version from git now but I encounter the same problem on 3.8.0 CE/PE.
