htpasswdd will be a good start but calvary for maintaining many entries.
You can make use of mod_auth_mysql. It's an apache module. You will have to
add Auth_MySQL_Info in your httpd.conf
Auth_MySQL_Info localhost myusername mypassword
As an example:
<Directory "/usr/local/apache/htdocs/phpMyAdmin">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride AuthConfig
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
And I have a file named .htaccess under /usr/local/apache/htdocs/phpMyAdmin
and it contains
AuthName "Mysql Administration"
AuthType Basic
Auth_MySQL_DB phdb
Auth_MySQL_Password_Table php_admin
Auth_MySQL_Username_Field username
Auth_MySQL_Password_Field password
Auth_MySQL_Encryption_Types MySQL
Auth_MySQL_Empty_Passwords off
Auth_MYSQL on
require valid-user
You can also make use of LDAP. But I haven't tried it. I'm sure, Michael M.
can help you.
...hth
