I don't think that authentication should be built into a WMS server. There are many solutions around, doing authentication and authorisation transparently on top of a WMS server: * http://52north.org/communities/security/index.html * http://geoprisma.org/site/index.php * https://sites.google.com/site/geoshieldproject/home * http://www.secureows.org/ Integration into QGIS Webclient will need some work, I suppose, but there should be no change in QGIS Server.
