Best Answer
By default Mac OS X serves pages using Apache. You can either set up 'Basic' authentication by editing
.htaccess
by hand or you can do it using Server Admin. Apple uses the term Realm in Server Admin to refer to this.Doing it by hand see Question 74906 (How Do I password protect an Apache website?)
