Not sure if you have found the answer already. if not try below appraoch and see if it works for you ...

Create a scripted web service from where you will authenticate user.. And make your of the below script .. guess it should fit your case .. let me now if it works for you

try

{

      var userName = request.user_name;

      var userPassword = request.user_password;

      var user = GlideUser;

      var authed = user.authenticate(userName,userPassword);

      if(authed)

              {

              response.isValid = 'Valid User';

      }

      else

              {

              response.isValid = 'Invalid User';

      }

}

catch(e)

{

      response.isValid = "Error While Authenticating:"+e;

}

I was able to do it successfully on demo.. So works atleast on demo
