You use something like:

<Location />
    AuthName "Restricted Access"
    AuthType Basic
    AuthUserFile "etc/rt/valid-users"
    Require valid-user
    SetHandler perl-script
    PerlHandler RT::Mason
</Location>

with a proper path for AuthUserFile. You also need to set

Set($WebExternalAuth , 1);

in RT_SiteConfig.pm

The users configured in AuthUserFile must have the same names
(but could have different passwords) as in the RT database.
