... or code a web page that handles authentication, like an .ASP page that
either uses ADSI to authenticate with Windows or uses database calls to,
say, a SQL or MySQL database table or if necessary an Access database table
that contains user IDs and passwords. Searching www.google.com for some of
these keywords [especially ADSI, if you want to authenticate against Windows
accounts] should give you examples of how others have done this before.

I'm really not sure I see the advantage to discarding Basic authentication,
especially if you aren't already experienced at coding such a login page
securely. Doing it yourself is a good way to really lessen your security.
If your problem is the cost of an SSL cert to do encryption, there are ways
to do inexpensive or even free certs. Some sites with info for programming
securely include:
