what you need to do is add an attribute to htdig when you run it.
(are you using rundig? - if so you'll need to edit that)
you need to launch htdig like this:
htdig -u user:password
(subsitute user:password for real values and don't forget the colon between them )
that way when it is challenged for user and password details htdig will supply them.
more info about how you are running htdig would help.

Hi again,
Thanks Tony - I think that will do the trick - I am using rundig -c at the moment via a crontab - so I guess there, I would need to modify the line which currently reads:
/Library/Tenon/Htdig/bin/rundig -c /Library/Tenon/Htdig/conf/solutions.itavservices.com.conf
to instead read:
/path/to/rundig -c -u username:password /path/to/Htdig/conf/domain.com.conf
Would that be a fair assessment?
It would likely be better to simply add this line to the relevant .conf file (assuming it is only used for htdig):
authorization: user:password
just add it at the bottom of the conf file, substituting user:password as before.
alternatively if you are going to edit your cron do:
rundig -u user:password -c /path/to/Htdig/conf/domain.com.conf
rather than your suggestion above - the conf file must follow the -c and the user:password pair must follow the -u (AFAIK)
