answer query on restricting access

The Graduate Admissions office emailed to ask about how to "secure" websites based on the examples we'd done for administering the English and PoliSci graduate program applicants. I wasn't totally sure, but took that to mean "require authentication" so I provided basic information on use of htaccess vs more sophisticated options (e.g. database-driven site with accounts and pw's in the db) and when you'd use each.
