I could use Apache Basic Authentication, but I would prefer to hold usernames passwords in a database rather than a htpasswd file.
I realise that you've been given an all-Cat solution for this however I just want to point out that just because you're using Basic Auth in Apache, doesn't mean that you have to hold the details in a htpasswd file. They've separated the Basic Auth at the front-end from how the details are stored at the back-end in Apache 2.2.
So you could use mod_auth_basic to handle the client-side, and mod_authn_dbd to do the DB lookup.
