Apache realm auth is great for quick and dirty site acl’s. Can one do realm authentication with a modal window instead of the usual ugly native one? I know there are other solutions, like CAS, etc. But Apache is always there (for the most part) and .htaccess is simple quick and easy
Simple answer: no.
This “ugly native window” is the kind of dialog your web browser shows when it encounters HTTP authentication as defined in RFC 2617. This has nothing to do with Apache httpd, the dialog will look the same in your web browser, no matter which web server (Apache httpd, nginx, lighttpd, IIS, Hiawatha, fnord, gatling, …) generated the
WWW-Authenticateheader.
