I assume you're using Apache and that ViewVC is being served as a CGI
script?

You need to set up Apache to do HTTP authentication.  Apache will then
pass the username to ViewVC, and ViewVC will use that username to do
authz.  ViewVC doesn't do the prompting for passwords itself.

In my Apache config file I have something like this:

ScriptAlias /viewvc /some/path/viewvc.cgi
<Location /viewvc>
        AuthType Basic
        AuthName "ViewVC"
        AuthBasicProvider file
        AuthUserFile /some/path/apache_passwords
        Require valid-user
</Location>

Kind regards,

Jon
