Sim. Mas você precisa usar campos de entrada com nome = httpd_username e httpd_password (e direitos .htaccess também)
/secret/path/.htaccess
AuthFormLoginRequiredLocation /login.html AuthFormLoginSuccessLocation /secret/path/ AuthFormProvider file AuthUserFile /before/www/root/.htpasswd AuthType form AuthName "My server!" Session On SessionCookieName session path=/secret/path/ SessionCryptoPassphrase SomEtH1n9
/logout/.htaccess
AuthName "My server!" AuthFormLogoutLocation /logout/ Session On SessionCookieName session path=/secret/path/ SessionCryptoPassphrase SomEtH1n9
p .: não use a palavra "secreta" do Apache Docs como uma frase secreta;)
