Actually my <Directory /> had AllowOverried all. I tried:

# Secure addbug form
<Directory "//sonscentral/users/adefaria/www/Internal/Release/addbug/">
   Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
   AllowOverride AuthConfig
   order deny,allow
   allow from all
   AuthName "permission to add a bug"
   AuthType Basic
   AuthUserFile /etc/apache/addbug_users
   Require valid-user
</Directory>

And

# Secure addbug form
<Directory "//sonscentral/users/adefaria/www/Internal/Release/addbug/">
   Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
   AllowOverride AuthConfig
   order deny,allow
   allow from all
#    AuthName "permission to add a bug"
#    AuthType Basic
#    AuthUserFile /etc/apache/addbug_users
#    Require valid-user
</Directory>

With the .htaccess file. Neither method worked. I was allowed in without 
any authentication.
