Redundand Auth Requests

Hi all,

I have an Apache server running and it seems to be working very well except
for one minor issue.

My users are being asked to authenticate TWICE, even if the pages they want
to access are in the same domain. Any ideas where to look? Doesn't seem to
be browser-dependent.

RE: Redundand Auth Requests

- How are you defining the protected directory? using .htaccess or =
directly in the httpd.conf?=20
- Could you have two definitions in nested directories (i.e. .htaccess =
in dir1 and again in dir1/subdir)?
- Could you have two .htaccess in two parallel directories but with =
files from one required in another (i.e. dir1/file.html contains src=3D"../dir2/image.gif"> and dir1 and dir2 both have .htaccess)?

Rgds,

Owen Boyle

I think I've seen this when the ServerName is different from the server
they are going to... hence there is some sort of internal re-direct
which also needs to be authenticated... not sure - but try that.
