Hi,
Have a look at the apache site (httpd.apache.org). There is a directive you 
can add to each directory stanza (or global) that defines what error page to 
display.  Check their docs, but I think it is something like:
ErrorDocument 404 /path_to/file

You may also want to use the config file directory stanzas to do your access 
control instead of leaving the htaccess file in the document area.

If by "develop an interface" you mean the pop-up login box, sorry, I can't 
help.
