Hi. It's not a fresh idea, but the username and password in the database for the site need to match the username and password, as uncrypted, that are in the .htpasswd file. Another option would be to crawl the directory without the .htaccess file and then reinstate the .htaccess file so when users click a protected search result link they are prompted for their username and password. Other than what Alex wants to do, I haven't been able to replicate the other issues listed in this thread.
