It's the case for me that:
- If I visit http://coweb.cc.gatech.edu/cs1315, I don't get prompted
for authentication from MacOS X Safari.
- If I then visit a Swiki requesting authentication on the same server,
like http://coweb.cc.gatech.edu/cs1315-ta or
http://coweb.cc.gatech.edu/admin, I will get prompted for username and
password.
- But now, when I go back to http://coweb.cc.gatech.edu/cs1315 (without
restarting the server), I will now get prompted for authentication.
I attribute this to a bug in how Safari recognizes realms. I don't
have such a problem in Windows XP IE.

I've investigated this and can't seem to find the bug. When swiki asks
for authentication, it includes a realm of /swiki1/*. The browser is
then
supposed to know that the authentication only applies to that swiki.
I'll
try to investigate it further, but currently I can't find the problem.
Peace and Luck!

I've tried in Windows XP but with different browsers (Firefox and
Internet Explorer) and in both I've the same problem. By that I think
that may be a swiki problem more than a browser problem.

I find this with Mac OS X Safari, but not with Windows XP Internet
Explorer. That makes me think that this is a browser issue. My
suspicion is that the browser is remembering the server and
associating
authentication with it, but not remembering the server with the path,
and thus, not recognizing that not all paths on the same server
require
authentication.

Hi:
I've several swikis in the same server, in the form:
http://server1:8000/swiki1
http://server1:8000/swiki2
http://server1:8000/swiki3
They all have security enabled with pairs username:password to
different roles, as can be defined in the Swiki Administration Tool.
I've the problem that when I (or any another user) try to go, by
example, to swiki2 with a username:password pair, the swiki remains
asking for username:password several times and (in the browser
dialog
box that ask for the login data) says:
"Enter username and password for */swiki1/*" at http://server1:8000
being that I'm trying to go to swiki2.
Afther a while (or canceling) the swiki let me go to swiki2 and
desired page, but when I try to go back (yet inside swiki2) again
the
multiple asking by username:password naming swiki1.
The same is true with the others swikis.
Any help will be appreciated.
Best Regards.
