Temporarily only send the headers if there is not username/password set,=

not it they're not set or they do not match.

Use one preset username & password in a file:
<?php
$username =3D 'username';
$password =3D 'password';
if (!isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'])) {
header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=3D"My Realm"');
header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
echo 'Text to send if user hits Cancel button';
exit;
} else {
if($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] !=3D $username)
echo 'Username incorrect:'.$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'].', =

expected:'.$username;
if($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'] !=3D $password)
echo 'Username incorrect:'.$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'].', =

expected:'.$password;
}
?>

Take it from there, add the md5 in later, then try it in Joomla, the try=
=

to use the database.
