Hi, I'm following the instructions at
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/apache_auth/ I've just noticed a bit at the bottom of that page which says ----- Note that sometimes SetEnv doesn't play well in this mod_python configuration, for reasons unknown. If you're having problems getting mod_python to recognize your DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE, you can set it using PythonOption instead of SetEnv. Therefore, these two Apache directives are equivalent: SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE mysite.settings PythonOption DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE mysite.settings ---- I've done that and now it's prompting me to login a normal browser dialog box. If I use my django login it works - is this expected behaviour or can I stop the login box appearing for users that have logged into django auth? Thanks, Tim.
