This is probably a rather simple question related to single sign-on to virtual hosts. Although I did some research I need some advice that points me to the right direction...

This is the environment:

Virtual host A; Allowed users: administrator, user_a
Virtual host B; Allowed users: administrator, user_b
Virtual host C; Allowed users: administrator, user_a, user_c

I'd like to create an administrator account using Apache's basic authentication feature. Whenever the administrator is successfully authenticated to one of these virtual hosts then no additional authentication/login should be required when accessing the other virtual hosts. The same applies to non-administrator users. Here, every individual user is allowed to login only to explicitely assigned virtual hosts.

I am currently using this type of authentication definitions in every single virtual host container of my test setup:

...
        <Location "/xyz">
                AuthType Basic
                AuthName "Virtual Host A"
                AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/virtual_host_a_htpasswd
                Require valid-user
        </Location>
...

Every virtual host container is currently using its own AuthUserFile. I assume that using one single AuthUserFile (/etc/httpd/htpasswd) for all user definitions as well as "Require administrator user_a" etc. on every individual virtual host is the way to go. However, I did not manage to make the single sign-on work so far...

I am using Apache 2.0.52.

Thanks for your help, David
