SSPI auth Optional?

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is at all possible, so correct me if I'm chasing a ghost... I'm in the following situation:

We have a system which already has an authentication mechanism (using cookies). We want to change this so that it uses mod_sspi, like this:

  <Location />
    AuthName "website name goes here"
    AuthType SSPI
    SSPIAuth On
    SSPIAuthoritative On
    SSPIOfferBasic On
    SSPIBasicPreferred Off
    Require valid-user
  </Location>

However, we also have automated scripts accessing the same server, and we don't want to have to change them all, so we want the SSPI authentication to be _optional_.

Unfortunately it appears that if I remove the "Require valid-user" line, the browser doesn't send the authentication credentials at all (doesn't even prompt the user).

Is it at all possible to have a system where the username/password box pops up in the browser, but if the user presses Cancel, the website is still viewable (in my case a PHP script which would then output the Access Denied message as appropriate)?

Thanks!
Arne
