I have a requirement to create a logon banner that a user must click "ok" (consent to monitoring) in order to continue to enter username and password and access the site. Using Apache 2.2 on Windows 2008R2. If possible, I would like to create this in the httpd file.

Do you need help creating the banner (graphic), or where to insert in the Apache config?

is that password for HTTP Authentication or is this the password for your web application?

a user must click "ok" (consent to monitoring)
Will you need them to click on every visit, or only when they first register? Why does it need to be separate from the logon screen itself?

After doing some additional searching, I have learned that it can be a simple text field on the web landing page of my application. So what I need help with is adding the text "consent to monitoring" in the httpd.conf file. I no longer need for the user to click "ok" in order to proceed, I believe the intention is that the user consents when they enter their username and password on the web landing page of the application.

General background info [httpd.apache.org] So at this point you're looking at setting the exact text content of the password dialog?
the client often presents this information to the user as part of the password dialog box .... The string provided for the AuthName is what will appear in the password dialog provided by most browsers.
I guess tht's the nswer. You have to put your stuff about "monitoring" into a concise statement -- enclosed in quotation marks since it's more than one word -- in the AuthName directive.
As noted elsewhere, my "a" key is being cantankerous. I hope the solution doesn't involve buying new keyboard.
