Summary
PHP Authentication shield. It creates a simple shield for the site with Apache authentication. It hides the sites, if the user does not know a simple username/password. It handles Drupal as a "walled garden".
This module helps you to protect your (dev) site with HTTP authentication.
Configuration
If you don't need the authentication just live blank the user field.
- enable the module
- go to the admin interface (admin/config/system/shield) and fill the form
- nothing else :)
If you want to use this module on FastCGI environments, please read this thread #1343750: Shield doesn't work on fastcgi (and some other configurations)

The original idea of the project came from chx. He also added tips for improvements. I'd like to thank the help and ideas of boombatower.
2012-04-26: Announcement: kalman.hosszu became a co-mainter of the module. He merges the features of his HTPasswd protection module into the Shield. Thank you very much Kálmán!
Note: If you want to use it only on a dev site, and not in the production site, I suggest you to consider using the Environment modules and reading issue #1394326.
