You can use apache mod_aut* modules to setup a username/password protected
area.
If you are planning to use mapserver as WMS server, you should consider to
use allow/deny on a file type level (<files >and/or <location> directives)
according to ip addresses.

If you are running a front end like pmapper or a openlayers based one you
can quickly grant access using both methods.
