Apache authentication solution

Greetings,

I'm setting up a couple of apache virtual hosts on my arch server.

www.mydomain.com - web page
wiki.mydomain.com - wiki
media.mydomain.com - image repository

The information on these hosts are only intended for my family and a couple of relatives.

Can someone help me to choose a good security implementation?

- Fast and simple login procedure
- A non-tech person should be able to login to the site
- You should be able to login once and then be able to access all the hosts

Re: Apache authentication solution

A normal .htaccess file will do all apart from the Single Sign On (SSO) part. That will be harder.

Of course, if you can identify "family and friends" by IP Address, then it's a lot simpler.

What about running Apache on an alternative port (say 22280)? It's Security-by-Obscurity which isn't really security, but Security is a compromise of Ease-of-use, and vice-versa.
