You will probably have to use basic authentication and write your own
helper. Basic auth helpers aren't that complicated - they read 'user
password' on STDIN and print 'OK' or 'ERR' on STDOUT in an endless loop.

Basic auth gives the password in clear text. Just have your helper generate
the SSHA hash of that password, and compare it to the password entry in the
file. Print 'OK' for matches and 'ERR' otherwise.
