Bill, That's not completely true there is the fairly new Apache module 'mod_auth_form' that is supposed to ameliorate this problem, but I can't seem to get that working either.
The browser drops down a login when it sees a 401 status code plus `WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="WallyWorld"`. If you rewrite the 'Basic' part to a custom scheme, but still send basic credentials 'mod_auth_form' should do the right thing by sending on to 'mod_authnz_external'. At least that's what I understand. See: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2617. I'm just trying to get the Apache config right. The reason I am using 'mod_authnz_external' is because I'm authorizing through PAM / NIS. Thanks, for your response anyway.
