Apache global basic auth

I have an Apache web server with multiple virtual hosts

I would like all of them to be behind basic authorization (AuthType Basic)

But - it seems Auth derective only works for <Location> and <Directory> (inside the Virtualhost section)

Is there a way to set the base name for all global virtual hosts right away?

Any <Directory> or <Location> installed in the global configuration (httpd.conf or apache2.conf on Debian) will be applied to all VirtualHosts, since the default is global < global configuration.

It is quite difficult to split the <Directory> location, as you may have different DocumentRoot for your virtual hosts. But <Location /> is a good target, all of your Virtualhosts will have the URL '/'.

So, if you put this in <Location /> in a global definition, it will work unless <Location /> on one VirtualHost uses some directive to remove Auth.
