usually you'll have to put it inside a location tag. Here's an example we use in some demo sites:

<Location "/">
            AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/.sfapasswds
            AuthName "XXX demo"
            AuthGroupFile /dev/null
            AuthType Basic
            Require valid-user
</Location>

You'll have to do the configurations in the virtual host file. You can use the same syntax as a plain .htaccess file.

I get the following error Syntax error on line 18 of /home/turian/webapps/.../osqa.conf: AuthType not allowed here

And what's on line 18 of the osqa.conf file? And where did that osqa.conf file came from?

Also, did you read the apache docs? You can try here http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/howto/auth.html

I checked out the apache docs, but it doesn't really tell me where I can and can't put AuthType.

Line 18 say: AuthType Basic

osqa.conf is included by httpd.conf, and includes my OSQA virtual host definitions.
