[users@httpd] repeated authentication requests

["Barham, David" <ba...@ugs.com>]

I'm running Apache 2.0.52 on RHEL 2 (EM64T)

I've installed mod_auth_pam and have got the user authentication working
correctly from a windows AD.

However, I'm finding that I'm getting asked to re-authenticate multiple
times.

 

In a simple example I might get a page index.html with multiple images.
The index.html downloads but then the next entry in the httpd log is a
401 for image1.gif. My browser prompts (again) for username/password but
even while it is waiting for a response I see GETs for image2.gif,
image3.gif etc.

 

If I cancel the username/password dialog box and then refresh the
browser I get the gif which was missing the first time around but this
time get the 401 on a different image. It seems to always be the second
GET which causes this.

 

Has anyone seen this?

 

Thanks
