 For authentication you should enable mod_auth in lighttpd.conf 'server.modules', select auth.backend and auth rules:

 The technique can be easily adapted for use with multiple projects by creating aliases for each of them, and wrapping the fastcgi.server declarations inside conditional configuration blocks.
+Also there is another way to do handle multiple projects and it's to use TRAC_ENV_PARENT_DIR instead of trac env and use global auth, let's see an example:
+{{{
+  alias.url       = ( "/trac/" => "/path/to/trac/htdocs/" )
+
+  fastcgi.server += ("/projects"  =>
+                      ("trac" =>
+                        (
+                          "socket" => "/tmp/trac.sock",
+                          "bin-path" => "/path/to/cgi-bin/trac.fcgi",
+                          "check-local" => "disable",
+                          "bin-environment" =>
+                            ("TRAC_ENV_PARENT_DIR" => "/path/to/parent/dir/of/projects/" )

+  auth.backend = "htpasswd"
+  auth.backend.htpasswd.userfile = "/path/to/unique/htpassword/file/trac.htpasswd"
+  $HTTP["url"] =~ "^/projects/.*/login$" {
+    auth.require = ("/" =>
