I've had this happen when something behind the
scenes does a redirect in cgi from a fully
qualified name (ie.  server.domain.com)
to just the server name.

Could that be happening in your case?

I'm not sure which module is not equating
server to server.domain.com or even
if  is the correct behaviour
to ask for credentials again
with the shortening in the https server name.

In my case I fixed the cgi to use
the fully qualifted name and I now
only get the  authetication piece once.

That is the way I want the cgi to behave
anyway.

So the pages work regardless
of what the search domain is
set to in the client workstation's DNS.

And users with the correct credentials
and ssl can connect from anywhere.

I am using auth-ldap 1.5.0 rather than the
mod_auth_ldap module.  But I
suspect you could be seeing
the same behavior I was.
