I don't think so easily as:

org.sakaiproject.user.impl.UserAuthnComponent.authenticate(Evidence)

Doesn't allow logins with empty password. I have noticed that there exists:

org.sakaiproject.user.impl.OpenAuthnComponent

which you could register in spring as being the authentication
manager, but I've never tried this.
