Authentication

$config['auth_mechanism'] = "mysql"; # Available mechanisms: mysql (default), ldap, http-auth

Sets the authentication mechanism. Currently supported mechanisms are mysql, ldap and http-auth.

Set that option in your config.php file to http-auth and then configure as you normally would in your Apache httpd.conf or .htaccess file.
