It looks like this part is unimplemented in Swazoo, OTOH it seems pretty
easy to do (the HTTPAuthenticationChallenge class is missing).  (swazoo
list CCed).

I think what is often done, is to firewall Swazoo, and instead use
Apache as a proxy server.  You then configure Apache to block
/seaside/config and to use it, you access Swazoo directly (because of
the firewall, that would be possible only within some kind of DMZ).

If you want this, you have to make the root entry point the
WAApplication instead of using a WADispatcher as Seaside does by default.

click Override in decoration classes. They are not necessary, but very
useful.
