Hi List,
From a previous employment, I recall an apache module (I think) called mod_auth_pl, or mod_auth_perl, or some such. I also remember the website I was working on for that job having a login widget on the page that took the place of the default browser pop-up authentication dialog, but still managed (iirc) to interact with the apache authentication model (i.e. I don't remember there being any fancy footwork other than .htaccess files to control access, still used Basic auth, but used the page's widget instead of the browser's pop-up).

I really want to do that for some web pages here. Have a default login page, instead of having the browser pop up the auth dialog. Am I remembering poorly, or is that easy to do? I still want my PHP scripts to be able to use things like $_SERVER["REMOTE_USER"] and such.

Thanks for the advice, folks!

~Brian
