I'm not sure exactly what your asking, but it might be useful to simply
force the browser to authenticate:


<dtml-var standard_html_header>
<dtml-if "AUTHENTICATED_USER.getUserName() == 'Anonymous User'">
  <dtml-raise Unauthorized>
    Wrong username or password
  </dtml-raise>
</dtml-if>
Hi <dtml-var "AUTHENTICATED_USER.getUserName()">
<dtml-var standard_html_footer>

or something like that.
