I just found that using the same value of AuthName for each application seems to solve my problem. Is it the right way to go?

Here's the configuration on how the reverse proxy server works. <Location /rpt > Order Deny,Allow Deny from all Allow from ... ProxyPass https://111.111.111.111/rpt ProxyPassReverse https://111.111.111.111/rpt ProxyPassReverseCookieDomain 111.111.111.111 100.100.100.100 AuthName "Restricted Access" AuthType Basic AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/passwd/htpasswd.users Require valid-user </Location> Then I added the following to the same conf file on the reverse proxy server for another application. I first accessed the rpt application in a web browser, and then I was asked to enter id and password as expected. Then I hit rpt2 in the same browser session, and then I was asked to enter id and password again. My question is: How can I tell the reverse proxy server to authenticate each user just once in this case? <Location /rpt2 > Order Deny,Allow Deny from all Allow from ... ProxyPass https://111.111.111.111/rpt2 ProxyPassReverse https://111.111.111.111/rpt2 ProxyPassReverseCookieDomain 111.111.111.111 100.100.100.100 AuthName "Restricted Access" AuthType Basic AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/passwd/htpasswd.users Require valid-user </Location> Thanks.
