As you probably know, ViewVC really doesn't do anything special around authentication. It checks an environment variable to see if the web server has provided a presumably-authenticated username. If it has, ViewVC uses the username in its authorization checks. If it hasn't, ViewVC doesn't. But all the work of determining which username to provide to ViewVC happens in the web server code itself long before ViewVC is invoked. -- C.
