Hi Shazia,
yes, DSpace uses stackable authentication, so multiple authentication
modules can be used in parallel. Here's what you need for
authentication.cfg:
plugin.sequence.org.dspace.authenticate.AuthenticationMethod = \
org.dspace.authenticate.ShibAuthentication, \
org.dspace.authenticate.PasswordAuthentication
Of course, now you should set up authentication-password.cfg (usually
not necessary) and authentication-shibboleth.cfg.

The details for DSpace 1.8.2 and newer are here:
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC4x/Authentication+Plugins#AuthenticationPlugins-ConfiguringShibbolethAuthentication(DSpace1.8.2+)
In the supported setup, you need to run Apache HTTPD as a front-end to
DSpace. You have to install the Shibboleth Service Provider (SP) and
load it as a module to Apache (mod_shib).
Then you have to configure the details of your particular Shibboleth
environment in authentication-shibboleth.cfg.
