http://username:password@your.nagioshost.com will work.

There is also the possiblity that you could get creative with your
.htaccess file and allow based on IP, domain, browser version or
whatever but a user allowed by those rules would pick up the identity of
the default_user_name configured in cgi.cfg. I haven't specifically
tested it but I don't have any reason to think that it wouldn't work.
There are lots of pages out there with .htaccess tutorials (hint: look
for 'satisfy any') to get you started if you decide to go this route.
