- AuthUserFile – full path to the password file (.htpasswd). Relative paths will not work.
- AuthGroupFile – path to the groups file, if one exists.

- require valid-user – allowed access to all authenticated users
- require user admin alex mango – only visitors with the names admin, alex, mango are allowed access. Naturally, they must be authenticated
- require group admins – allowed access to all users from the admins group
