Hi, though it seems a stupid question it is not, and you'll see why :

Part one, preety straight forward :

Put a .htaccess in the dir you want to protect

AuthUserFile /my/passwd/file
AuthName "Title"
AuthType Basic
Require valid-user

/my/passwd/file is created with the following command :
htpasswd -c /my/passwd/file bob

PS: Does not really have much to do with cake.

Part 2 

/admin (as cake uses rewrites) is not actually a directory. So then you have a 
problem :)
Solvable though , putting in the docroot a htaccess with something like :

<Location "/admin">
  AuthType Basic
  AuthName "Title"
  AuthUserFile /my/passwd/file
  Require valid-user
</Location>

Of course if you need to match a regexp :

<LocationMatch "/mysecret/[^/]+/">
  AuthType Basic
  AuthName "Title"
  AuthUserFile /my/passwd/file
  Require valid-user
</LocationMatch>

Hopefully it works, most is from memory, I think I installed to many TRACs 
lately.

This part have something tangential with cake anyway.

And if we are so offtopic, in my language Mazgalici means "the ones that 
smears/scribbles" :).

Kind regards,
D
