There are numerous methods for doing this.

What type of server is it? Linux/Windows? Do you use PHP/Java/.NET?

What level of security do you require?

The simplest thing is to use check username/passwords against a database and then use a session to track the logged in users.

You check the session on each page/request and if it doesnt exist , redirect to login page
