how to password protect admin area

[tincboy]

I am using openlitespeed to run my forum and it's fantastic, but I don't know how to secure the admin area of forum like what we were able to do with a single .htaccess in that folder,
I just need to secure a specific folder so rewrite section of virtual host configuration will not simply be usable,
I've put the lines below in rewrite section but it has no affect at all:

<Location /home/forum/domains/forum.com/public_html/admin/ >
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /home/forum/domains/forum.com/.htpasswd/public_html/admin/.htpasswd
AuthName "Locked!"
require valid-user
</Location>

Any suggestion on making it done?

in OLS web admin,
Virtual Hosts->select a vhost->Context->Add->Static
to configure it.

in OLS default installation, there is "Example" virtual host, you can refer the detail settings by
Virtual Hosts->Example->Context-> /protected/

you can refer this recent post as well:

Would you please let me know how can I specify the password file?

this is the document, but no GUI
http://www.litespeedtech.com/docs/webserver/config/vhostsecurity#realms
see if it's clear enough
