  Yes, there is, you can enter the information "by hand",
  corresponding hashes (ha1, ha1b) can be calculated
  using gen_ha1.

  Credentials table is in fact very similar to subscriber
  table -- instead of username, domain, pair you have uid
  column.

  If www_authenticate could not find the credentials then
  check whether you use correct realm (the first parameter
  of www_authenticate).
