I need to modify the file /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpMyAdmin.conf in order to allow remote users (not only localhost) to login

# But allowing phpMyAdmin to anyone other than localhost should be considered
# dangerous unless properly secured by SSL

When I get into phpmyadmin webpage, I am not prompted for user and password, before getting the error message: Forbidden: You don't have permission to access /phpmyadmin on this server.
My system is Fedora 20
