    I created the .htaccess file as well as password file. the htaccess file looks like

    AuthType Basic
    AuthName "Restricted Area"
    AuthUserFile /dir1/dir2/auth/restricted.pwd
    AuthGroupFile /dir1/dir2/auth/restricted.grp require valid-user

    the restricted password file contains the
    username/password

    admin_user:2gE9XovzMavhw

    After restarting apache i can still see the directory and username / password did not pop up

    is there something i am missing?do i need to install a specific module in apache

    require valid-user

    Above code needs to be in a separate line. You are missing one new line there, so try changing it to this:

    
AuthType Basic 
AuthName "Restricted Area"
AuthUserFile /dir1/dir2/auth/restricted.pwd
AuthGroupFile /dir1/dir2/auth/restricted.grp
require valid-user
    Code (markup):
