If you only want to authenticate outside users, you could setup a VPN if
you are going to be accessing it from the same machine (like a laptop).
You could use temporary SSH tunneling also, which would give access only
to the machine you are SSHing from.
You might be able to setup a dual HTTP/HTTPS as Judd said and only
require authentication on the HTTPS, then just forward that port. I'm
not sure as I've never tried it.

Before you get too excited, most home network providers don't allow
riding port 80. You can always use a different port like 8081 to
bypass. Standard Authentication is doable via .htaccess with apache,
however you goal is to be secure so you will likely want to setup a
HTTPS port with basic authentication in Apache that you will point to.
Not the most perfect solution but it does do roughly what you are
wanting.

Hi,
Using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.
I have an intranet server behind a NAT router. Very standard linksys
router home setup. The server has a static IP. I used port forwarding in
the router to use SSH and log into the server remotely - it works OK.
I want no one outside my home network to access any webpages on the
server unless they're authenticated.. I know I could port forward like
with ssh but with http port 80 and then see webpages , but again this
would open it up to anyone with my cable modem's IP - wouldn't it?
I need a secure way like SSH that requires a password before anyone
could access port 80 and http from the server from a remote network.
How do I do this? And on the local network people can get served pages
normally as usual. Just remote would need authentication. Must be
commonly done(?)
Thanks,
Lee G.
