Indeed. This is actually a performance tuning piece for apache, and
the first in their 'when not to use' section for htaccess.

Documentation for this is available here to those who are interested

By default htaccess files are not allowed in the httpd.conf file. You
have to enable them with the AllowOverride option.

AuthUserFile /opt/passwords/parkland.pwd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName ParklandONLINE
AuthType Basic
require valid-user
