Global passwd file?

Because we develop client websites on test domains and want to preview people from browsing the sites (and google) until they are published on the final domain I would like to setup a global rule for a single passwd file to be used. So when the site is using a subdomain of our main test domain (i.e. xyz.example.com) the passwd file should be applied. I've tested it with SetEnvIfNoCase and it works fine. The problem I have is that AuthType can only be used inside so I can't add these rules in my WHM include editor. Any ideas how I do this? presumably with a template file?

  Found my own answer to this one... You can use a wildcard in
  SetEnvIfNoCase ^HOST$ .+ unauthenticated SetEnvIfNoCase ^HOST$ ^(.*)\.testdomain\.com$ !unauthenticated AuthType Basic AuthName "Restricted Development Link" AuthUserFile "/home/.htpasswds/passwd" Require valid-user Order allow,deny Allow from env=unauthenticated Satisfy any
