Stream Content Security with user:pass

Hello,
I have a linux based streaming server and I do not want to make it public. I am looking for a solution to make my streaming content secured with username & password for each individual.

If i had been dealing with a webpage application, it would have been easy for me: To create .htpasswd and .htaccess files for each html folder would have been solving the problem but in my case this is not webpage based application.

What I am in need of is to create a database for each visitor, when they enter the stream link in below format , they will be able to play it at their end:

http://username:password@public_ip:port/stream_name

Some applications are using cgi-bin but I do not know how to install&set it.
I would appreciate if anybody would guide me or give a clue about how it can be done.

Thanks in advance
Boris
