You have a fundamental misunderstanding of HTTP. It is not a conection-based protocol (like the telephone), it is connection-less and stateless and works with the client and server exchanging messages (ie, it is electronic document mail-order). So, at the HTTP layer, you don't really have people "logged in" at all...

Having said all that, you can provide the illusion of sessions and statefullness, but only by loading an application on top of HTTP - this would be some form of session tracking using cookies, for example. For this, you need additional server-sided logic (eg, CGI, PHP, Cocoon, etc.) and it can't be done simply by configuring apache.
