I'm trying to password protect my entire site, but leave the URI /ping open for
the load balancer healthcheck. Here is my configuration:

SetEnvIf Request_URI "^/ping" allow_access=1
<Location />
  Order Deny,Allow
  Deny from all
  Allow from env=allow_access

  authuserfile /etc/httpd/conf.d/passwd
  AuthDigestDomain http://mydomain.com/
  AuthType digest
  AuthName "Protected Website"
  require valid-user

  Satisfy any
</Location>


This doesn't work. Requests for /ping are still requiring digest
authentication, and if I go directly to the machine bypassing the load balancer,
I get prompted for a password repeatedly. Entering the correct user/pass pair
doesn't work, it just keeps popping the auth box over and over.

What am I doing wrong?

Apache 2.2.15 on CentOS 5
