It is certainly not the question for freebsd-hackers, but it should
rather go to some Apache-related list, perhaps Apache-hosted lists
themselves.  See http://httpd.apache.org/userslist.html

And try not to miss the link named "Asking Questions the Smart Way"
on the above mentioned page -- it is a good reading.

To the point: you can be interested in two links, depending on your
Apache version:
  http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/howto/auth.html
  http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/auth.html
