I'm not sure if the above in httpd.conf is necessary. I think by default the 
httpd.conf in RHEL (w/ apache2) allows you to put .htaccess file anywhere.

I'd try the suggestion below first, wihout changing the httpd.conf and see if 
it works (except if you've changed the default so that you need to explicitly 
enable AuthConfig option for the protected_directory).
