Any authentication module supported by apache would work as long as  
you end up with a username in $REMOTE_USER that can be matched against  
a contact. Most generally work through the htaccess mechanism but the  
authorization source doesn't have to be htpasswd. Nagios doesn't care  
how the authorization happens, just that the variable is populated.
