We have a protected page that correctly gets the browser to display the login prompt. Our problem is that, after being authenticated by the server, we want to further authenticate the user and, if they fail, get the browser to re-display the login prompt. Does anyone know how to do this? I have tried clearing the REMOTE_USER variable but it don't think it was actually cleared.

I think if you want to do something like that you'll have to give up on basic authentication and write your own authentication routines. I've never heard of a way to unauthorize someone via basic authentication. If you're daring, you might take a look around the web for the basic auth specs and see if there is an http header you can send to tell the browser the user is no longer authorized. Tracy Dryden
