Hi Dustin, As the htaccess authentication is provided by Apache, you can certainly use any authentication Apache supports (LDAP, SQL etc.) See the following Apache manual pages:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/auth.html - htaccess authentication howto http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_authn_dbd.html - SQL authentication http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_authnz_ldap.html - LDAP authentication Hope this helps.
