Your file httpd.conf should contain something as :


ScriptAlias /wEMBOSS_cgi/ /XXX/wEMBOSS/cgi-bin/


AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI -Includes
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
AuthType basic
AuthUserFile "/etc/shadow"
Authname 'YYY'
require valid-user



where /XXX/wEMBOSS/cgi-bin is a directory containing catch and emboss.pl.
Note that catch must be setuid :
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 12941 2006-09-02 10:47 catch

Instead of /etc/shadow you can have /etc/passwd or whatever file contains 
the user passwords

YYY is a name of a categrory of users (e.g. EMBOSS user) ; it ca, be 
shared with other applications protected by password.

Does that correspond to what you have ?
