This first may be required in the httpd.conf file.

LoadModule auth_pg_module /usr/lib/httpd/mod_auth_pg.so

You may also need something like this.

<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks ExecCGI Indexes
AllowOverride All
AuthPGAuthoritative off
</Directory>

In your .htaccess, something like this.

AuthName "My Realm"
AuthType Basic
require valid-user
AuthPGAuthoritative on
AuthPGEncrypted off # needed if you store passwords as plain text
AuthPGHost "db.mydomain.com" # needed if database is on other system
AuthPGDatabase "dbname"
AuthPGQuery "SELECT pwd FROM table WHERE login = '%s'"
