It should work similar on newer servers i hope

Answer 2

Thank You very much for respons! Your answer helped me take a closer look at the configuration file. AuthRequired functionality configuration was easier than I thought!
Here is instruction (OCS Inventory Server release 2.12.3, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS):

1. Generate Apache user (ocsagent for this example) and password:
    sudo htpasswd -c /etc/apache2/.htpasswd ocsagent

2. Edit z-ocsinventory-server.conf configuration file in  section: <Location /ocsinventory>

    Comment:

     Require all granted
     allow from all

    Uncomment the following lines:

    AuthType Basic
    AuthName "OCS Inventory agent area"
    require valid-user

     Change:

     AuthUserFile "APACHE_AUTH_USER_FILE"
     to:
     AuthUserFile "/etc/apache2/.htpasswd"

3. Apache2 restart:
   service apache2 restart

I was blind, I didn't read the comments contained in the configuration files. Those files are described very well.
If I missing something or write something wrong please correct me.
Kind regards
