I assume you mean your primary web site.
There is no easy way of doing this.

Instead you can create an ibay and put your main website files there, and then put a link in the primary/html folder to direct traffic to the ibay/html folder.
That way you can use the sme ibay password security features as required and still have a main domain name website.

This link may be an alternative which already has a HOWTO.
