Apache sends a WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Secure Area" header in the response and it is the browsers responsibility to supply credentials.

You can use the ErrorDocument<http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#errordocument>directive to change where Apache looks for the error page or you can modify the default one (not recommended). The location varies by distribution, but the source is here<http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpd/httpd/trunk/docs/error/> so you know what to look for. On Windows it is in Apache _Install_Directory\error\. > kindly guide me to achieve this enhancement. > Use some authentication framework in your language of choice.
