Authentication
GenomeView supports BasicAuth for webservers
To create pasword files you can use htpasswd: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/programs/htpasswd.html
htpasswd -c /location/of/.htpasswd username
Explanation how to setup .htaccess to a folder:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/htaccess.html#auth
AuthUserFile /location/of/.htpasswd AuthType Basic AuthName “My Files" Require valid-user
Important is that you put the password file outside the document root that is accessible through the web.
That should get you up and running.
