DESCRIPTION

This is a mod_perl authentication handler that authenticates using Movable Type's database. Setting it up requires that you already have Movable Type installed on your system. Configuring it is then a simple matter of adding a few lines to httpd.conf or .htaccess to tell Apache that you'd like Apache::AuthenMT to handle authentication for a URL. The synopsis provides some example configurations you can adapt to your needs.
