I'll be the first to admit I'm not big on this stuff, particularly regular 
expressions, but I didn't see anything whhich would catch /uri/en

I'd think it just better not to specify AuthGroupFile at all, rather than 
use /dev/null.  I've never had occasion to use it.

As you later posted, the require line is not correct here.  If you want to 
be able to support multiple usernames/passwords, you may want to use:

require valid-user

instead.
