Overview:

Web sites commonly protect sensitive data behind a login screen, which requires users to enter valid credentials before permitting them access. This document outlines the process of protecting access to areas of a Web site using Apache Server's built-in HTTP authentication system.

However, the back-end development of these systems can involve extensive coding and a substantial investment of time, especially if the system is written using a scripting language like Perl or PHP.
