'How to consume streaming video from a password server?

We have a Linux server where we keep several product videos. I am writing a ASP page (vb.net) for our internal site (for employees only) that supposed to play those videos on demand using a Javascript media player (I didn't choose one yet but I am leaned to use player.js). Initially I was thinking on using a Telerik control called radMediaPlayer, but now I imagine that JS may be a better option.

At first glance it is an easy task but the problem is that our server demands credentials and I have NO IDEA how to consume streaming video in such situation. I tried Google but got no luck.

Any direction appreciated! 😊

PS: I forgot to mention that the server is an internal server reachable through a direct path like \\myserver\videos\ and not a http server.
