 * On my development site, in my Apache virtual host file I usually specify details
   for Basic Authentication like AuthType, AuthName and AuthUserFile but it looks
   like I also need to use AllowOverride All so that all the directives used by 
   iThemes Security work.
 * Is it possible to set up Basic Authentication alongside iThemes Security and 
   if so how do you recommend doing it?
 * Thanks.
