No, I just have an solution when using the .htaccess-login. First I set the 
$Author-var (else-part will be processed):

# if possible: get the author from php authentification or server 
authentification
if (@$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']) {$Author = 
strtoupper($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']);}
elseif (@$_SERVER['REMOTE_USER']) {$Author = 
strtoupper($_SERVER['REMOTE_USER']);}

Then I set up the IF-condition:

# (:if author authorname:) this is only displayed for author with the name 
authorname (:ifend:)

   $Conditions['author'] = '$GLOBALS["Author"]==$condparm';


Hasn't Pm posted something concerning this ? I can't find it right now, but 
I can remeber there was an restriction when using basic authentification.
