Jean-Michel,
do you have a particular reason for not using the native NetView security? When 
turned on, users
must authenticate themselves accessing NetView through the web interface.

I am not an Apache guru but you will find all the documentation at 
http://www.apache.org.

Hope this helps,
Best regards,
Vladimir.
