Actually through DACS (distrubuted access control system I think). We 
have used this with MapServer and GeoServer and uDig with some sucesss.

There are ways in place to let you pass in credentials to the WFS and 
limit things at the attribute level as well, but nobody has done this 
for geosever yet.
