+== Adding Authentication ==
+
+The simplest way to enable authentication with Apache is to create a password file. Use the `htpasswd` program to create the password file:
+{{{
+$ htpasswd -c /somewhere/trac.htpasswd admin
+New password: <type password>
+Re-type new password: <type password again>
+Adding password for user admin
+}}}
+
+After the first user, you dont need the "-c" option anymore:
+{{{
+$ htpasswd /somewhere/trac.htpasswd john
+New password: <type password>
+Re-type new password: <type password again>
+Adding password for user john
+}}}
+
+  ''See the man page for `htpasswd` for full documentation.''
+
+After you've created the users, you can set their permissions using TracPermissions.
+
+Now, you'll need to enable authentication against the password file in the Apache configuration:
+{{{
 <Location "/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/login">
   AuthType Basic
