There are several examples of using nevow.guard and implementing a 
simple cred realm in the nevow examples directory. If you need more 
help, it is more appropriate to ask on the twisted-web mailing list, 
where you are more likely to get an answer:

Another good place to get help is the #twisted.web channel on 
irc.freenode.net.
