Custom Login for each WebDynPro App

Question

Hello All,
We are trying to develop non-Portal WebDynPro applications. Since, checking the authentication box for the WebDynPro Applications will always cause the standard UME Login Screen to appear, I was wondering if this can be customized such that I have different one for <b>each</b> Application.
This is not about customizing Portal Login Screen.
Thanks,
Kiran

Pran,
Thank you so much for the reply.
I have implemented it in a different way. I have a normal login jsp taking username/pwd and with the "action" pointing to a servlet. The servlet has the following code.
IUser user = UMFactory.getAuthenticator().getLoggedInUser(request, response);
          if (null == user) {
               try {
                    UMFactory.getLogonAuthenticator().logon(request, response, "uidpwdlogon");
               } catch (LoginException e) {
               RequestDispatcher rd = request.getRequestDispatcher("unauthorised.html");
               rd.forward(request, response);
          response.sendRedirect("http://localhost:50000/webdynpro/dispatcher/local/Welcome/MyWebDynProAppl?SAPtestId=2");     
I saw that there was a cookie being generated MYSAPSSO2.
Now, my question is, How different is this approach compared to yours? I looked at the "Security provider" for my application in Visual admin and saw that the authentication template is "no" with just BasicPasswordLoginModule/Sufficient/{}.
Is this anyway less/more secure than what you mentioned?
Also, what do u suggest as a better way of redirecting? Is response.sendredirect the only option?
Do you know what "SAPtestId=2" mean in the URL of the webdynpro application that I need to redirect to?
Thank you,
Kiran
