I'm new to to HtDig and this list, but one crude approach could be to temporarily take the site down, remove .htaccess or whatever authentication mechanism is in place, and just index everything.
Another crude approach might be to index temporary copies of these files located somewhere else then fiddle the URLs. Maybe a cronjob could do all this automatically for you. I don't know how feasible this is in your case. Maybe HtDig can do something much more sophisticated. Passing usernames and passwords around the net in plain text isn't a great solution.
