This is rather trivial to do from the Server Administration interface.
Essentially, you create the database, add a user or users, and then
specify an object to apply the protections to. By default the protection
rule applies to the entire server, but you can easily specify a different
object to modify.
You can also add a rule like the following to the obj.conf file for
your server:
<Object ppath="path to the object you wish to protect">
AuthTrans fn="basic-ncsa" userfile="path to db file" auth-type="basic"
PathCheck fn="require-auth" realm="an arbitrary label" auth-type"basic"
</Object>
and restart it.
