Could you possibly be a bit more specific? What type of authentication do you seek?

Reply by Don Miguel de los Platanos 879 days ago

I want something like apaches .htaccess file. Just very basic authentication on the webserver level, not application level.

You might have a look and see if this will help you: http://thekode.net/misc/httpd-auth.rb

It should be able to be adapted easily enough if not.
