Hi!

I have the following structure:

/www/cgi-bin/protected/
/www/webdocs/protected/

What I want to do is that only users accessed to protected are allowed to
run scripts from /www/cgi-bin/protected/.
All others trying to access from outside the scripts to this should be
forced to login.

How can I handle this?

If you put them in the same realm (set AuthName the same in Apache)
then the browser will automatically use the same credentials in both
directories.

you mean putting the same .htaccess file into that cgi directory should
solve the problem?

yes but make sure you have enabled .htaccess files in that directory

<Directory /..../cgi-bin/protected>
AllowOverride AuthConfig Limit
</Directory>
