I defined a directory named "protected", which I configured with the
given .htaccess
Since this directory is directly defined under my web root directory,
I could also have configured it into a:
  <Location /protected/>...</Location>
block in the httpd.conf server configuration file.

The AuthName is the Realm text to display when the server has to use
the basic authentication (ntlm-uncompatible browser).

MYDOMAIN is the domain name where your users are defined (the line has
to be uncommented to be taken in account).
