On BlueQuartz you need to change the .htaccess files a bit for them to work, 
as that functionality is provided by an extra PKG that Brian Smith from 
NuOnce Networks kindly provided:

http://www.nuonce.net/mod_external_lib.php

So use one of the three methods shown below:

#Basic configuration for any users:
AuthAuthoritative On
AuthType Basic
AuthName Your_Eyes_only
AuthExternal pwauth
require valid-user

#Only allow 1 specific user to authenticate
AuthAuthoritative On
AuthType Basic
AuthName Your_Eyes_only
AuthExternal pwauth
require valid-user USERNAME_HERE

#Allow group authentication
AuthAuthoritative On
AuthType Basic
AuthName Your_Eyes_only
AuthExternal pwauth
GroupExternal unixgroup
require group site1 

-- 

With best regards,
