>Description:
How can I restricted all access to my apache server?
I basically want to have the user prompt for a userid/password when they first 
access any page on the server (and be validated for the current session only).

Adding a .htaccess in every directory is not viable for maintenance reason.

Having group would also be interesting.

Thanks
Andre
