You need to use the following directives:
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /path/to/passwd/file
AuthName "Some prompt string"
require valid-user
The safest place to put these is in a <Directory> entry in your main
httpd.conf file, but you can also put them in a .htaccess file in the
directory. To create the password file, use the 'htpasswd' command.
