Configure your settings like so:

INSTALLED_APPS += ('htauth',)
AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
    'htauth.backend.HtauthBackend',
    )
HTAUTH_PASSWD_FILENAME = os.path.join('/path/to/my.htpasswd')

All users who log in for the first time via django-htauth will be declared superusers; 
this may change in a future version.
