No, you have to use cookies if you want a Web form instead of the standard popup. You can use mod_perl and Apache::AuthCookie to do this without writing much code. > Also if there a way to logout?

I would also look into using Apache::AuthCookie to do this. ----Scott. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
