Looking through the Apache docs it doesn't seem there is a way to do 
this, the only supported AuthType directives are Basic and Digest.

You may want to try placing a .htaccess file in /var/www/html/somedir 
with the lines:

Allow from all
Satisfy any

You can read more about these directives here:
