The code sample below shows a directory block for authentication within the VirtualHost block. With this configuration, anytime a user tries to access the /home/httpd/htdocs/test directory, they'll be prompted for a username and password, which will then be verified against the password file (/home/httpd/users/basic) created in the previous panel.

The directives responsible for the authentication process are AuthType, AuthName, and the location of the user password file. Users requiring access to this directory need to supply a username, a password, and depending on the browser, the AuthName or realm. Most browsers keep a local record of the realm after the first access.
