[users@httpd] Authenticate only once for IP address or DNS name or alias
I have Digest authentication working if the user enters IP address in the
browser. If that application then makes a request for data to either the
fully qualified DNS name or intranet alias (of that same server), the user
gets prompted again for username and password.
Is there a way to make the same authentication session work for all 3
combination (IP, DNS, alias)? Is it an apache setup issue, DNS issue or is
this just the way it works?

It's your browser declining to automatically send your credentials to
what it thinks is a different host. I don't think you'll get it to
behave any different, unless you force a canonical hostname before
authenticating.
