Answer 1

You can create a custom form using mod_auth_form as long as you have access to add the modules necessary. Basically you would design the form, then setup the parameters.

Most people will usually create a custom form handled by a language like PHP where they will check a database for a login match then pass logged-in variables to the users via sessions. This method would allow more control because you can actually set access levels. Whereas with mod_auth* you're either in or not.
