Currently, I don't think Mercurial has any authentication built-in to 
the web server. Generally, it works best to access the Mercurial web 
interface through another HTTP server (for instance, using the mod_wsgi 
module to serve it from Apache, or using CGI or FCGI). That way, you 
should also be able to use any authentication infrastructure available 
for your webserver software of choice.
