[smokeping-users] how to enforce username/password logons to access smokeping

[Peter Kristolaitis]

This isn't really a SmokePing specific issue;  it's a webserver-level thing.

That said, I don't see a "Require" directive anywhere in your config.   
Try adding "Require valid-user" to your <Directory ...> block.
