It's almost entirely .htaccess configuration that you need, I expect.  
Try this --

In cgi.cfg, set default_user_name to what you want non-logged in users  
to be set to. You many need to set additional authorized_for values  
for this user or ensure that they are a contact for all hosts and  
services you want them to see.

Change your htaccess for sbin and share to include the Order, Deny,  
Allow From and Satisfy directives --

AuthName "Monitor System Access"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users
require valid-user
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 192.168.1.14 172.27.31 # allows from the single ip  
192.168.1.14 and the entire 172.27.31.0/24
Satisfy Any

The magic is in the Satisfy Any. The user can come from an Allowed IP  
_or_ authenticate. The server is smart enough not to present  
authentication if the IP Allow is satisfied.
