+For a similar use case, I've been intending to implement
+[[todo/httpauth_feature_parity_with_passwordauth]], but your idea may
+actually be the way to go. IMHO, the Perl sections idea is the
+easiest to setup, but on the long run, I'd prefer ikiwiki to optionnally
+use a userdb storage backend supported at least by Apache and lighttpd.

+
+Tons of CPAN modules may help, but most of them are specific to `mod_perl`,
+and AFAIK, ikiwiki is generally not run with `mod_perl`. It's not clear to me
+wether these modules depend on the webapp to be run with `mod_perl` set 
+as the script handler, or only on `mod_perl` to be installed and loaded.
+
+* CPAN's `Apache::AuthenHook` allows to plug arbitrary Perl handlers as
+  Apache authentication providers.
+* CPAN's `Apache::Authen::Program` (`mod_perl`)
+* [http://www.openfusion.com.au/labs/mod_auth_tkt/](mod_auth_tkt) along with CPAN's
+  `Apache::AuthTkt`
