SSLFakeBasicAuth ?

Hello

I have an Apache/1.3.27/mod_ssl/2.8.12/OpenSSL/0.9.6e/Solaris 8 system.

I wanted to use .htaccess without the file .htaccess. SO I found the option to
use SSLFakeBasicAuth in the httpd.conf file. It works and asks for my login.
My question is what is the timeout after asking for the SSLFakeBasicAuth Dir.
It seems once you get authenticated you can keep clicking on the link without
being asked for your username/password?

From httpd.conf:

SSLFakeBasicAuth

SSLRequireSSL
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride none
AuthUserFile /opt/apache/.htpasswd
AuthType Basic
AuthName Watchdog
Require valid-user


Thanks
Rob

RE: SSLFakeBasicAuth ?

Browsers cache the username/password and should continue to allow access
until they are restarted -- at least all that I've used do. It is not
controlled by a setting on the server as they are cached and controlled
client-side.
