last time, I could be use mod_auth which user authentication module. But it is very simple that login check layout is just web broswer dialog... It is called http-basic-authentication. It is show web-browser's basic dialog. I want to insert my login page instead web broswer dialog Or custom dialog instead patterned dialog.

http://redmine.lighttpd.net/wiki/lighttpd/Docs:ConfigurationOptions

searched custom dialog or page, but I could not find that... Can I modify authentication form? I don't want to use mysql or other DB program.

For reference, lighttpd version is 1.4.28.

Please help me... Thank you :)

If you are using HTTP authentication then the authentication dialog is completely controlled by the web browser. There is absolutely no way to change it on the server side.

If you want a fancy login screen you will need to build or run some webapp/cgi software that does forms-based authentication.

The only thing you can do is setup realm.

Although I can't change dialog box, thank you for your kindness. The next best thing is make page(cgi/c) that is work with lighttpd authentication module. This way seems to need not MySQL. But I don't know this method possible... – HanGyu Kim Sep 15 '11 at 5:43
