This is a nice alternative, but I still want it to be apache authentication. I've done the alternative authentications plenty of times, but it still isn't apache authentication. I want the same authentication to happen, so if I have the apache mod_kerberos installed, I want to be able to have that handle the authentication without presenting the ugly box to my users.
