You can do an allow from domain and/or IP range, otherwise require a
password. Here's a simple example that would give access to anyone with
a "k12.or.us" domain name or an ip address of 10.x.x.x or 198.236.x.x,
everyone else gets prompted for a password:

   deny from all
   allow from .k12.or.us 10.0.0.0/8 198.236.0.0/16
   AuthType Basic
   AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/conf/passwd
   require valid-user
   satisfy any
