I haven't tested this but I don't see why those would be mutually

I
I think a very simple modification to your htaccess is all that's
necessary.
<Directory /usr/local/nagios/sbin>
AllowOverride AuthConfig
Options FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 192.168.1.10
# or Allow from 192.168
# or Allow from 192.168.1.0/24
# or Allow from yourdomain.com
Satisfy any
AuthName "Nagios Access"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users
Require valid-user
</Directory>
<Directory "/usr/local/nagios/share">
Options None
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 192.168.1.10
# or Allow from 192.168
# or Allow from 192.168.1.0/24
# or Allow from yourdomain.com
Satisfy any
AuthName "Nagios Access"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users
Require valid-user
</Directory>
The 'Satisy any' directive means that if either a specific Allow matches
_or_ the user passed authentication then they are allowed in. In the
first case, they wouldn't be prompted to log in, REMOTE_USER would not
be set and nagios would fall back to the default username.
