If you have access to CGI, check for the users certificate, that guarantees user identity better than passwords. Otherwise a 'secret file' is your only option...

I'm surprised nobody mentioned @skyjake 's great Gemini App Developers Guide! :D
— Gemini App Developer's Guide
The gemini server software Molly Brown has inbuilt support for this. To quote the README:
`CertificateZones`: In this section of the config file, keys are path regexs and values are lists of hex-encoded SHA256 fingerprints of client certificates. Any requests whose path matches one of the regexs will only be served as normal if the request is made with a client certificate whose fingerprint is in the corresponding list.
poor man's solution: zip the file(s) and encrypt. send password only to user
I am looking for a guide on how to serve files on gemini to specific users / behind a password. Any links to some guide where it is explained in detail?
