Re: certificate and authentication re-prompting

[Daniel Kimblad]

Could be your browsers settings. If you're running Firefox go to the menu Tools > Options. Select Advanced and scroll down to the Certificates area. Set Client Certificate Selection to Select Automatically. This is often the cause of such behaviour. Hope this helps.   Best regards /Daniel ----- Original Message ----- From: C T To: modssl-users@modssl.org Sent: Wednesday, June 22, 2005 2:34 AM Subject: certificate and authentication re-prompting I need some advice/help. I am running...well my web host service is running... Apache/2.0.46 (Red Hat) Server openssl-0.9.7a-33.12 mod_ssl-2.0.46-44.ent Also, I was originally set up through some kind of "virtual hosting", but I paid extra for SSL, and I have a httpsdocs folder. (if you can't tell I'm new to this) I also use .htaccess with .htpasswd for user authentication. Everything seems to be working fine, but my problem is... I can enter my domain with the https://. OK I get prompted to accept the certificate, and I get prompted for the username/password. OK The problem surfaces when I begin to browse around in the https area. Sooner or later I will get re-prompted to accept the certificate and enter my username/password, again. I don't know why it does this, and my web hosting service can't seem to explain it either. I've reproduced the error on more than 4 computers. I can't find anything that would cause my browser session to expire, in mid-session. Can anyone help me or give me a direction to go in? Be Kind, I'm a new to apache and mod_ssl. Thanks, Craig [EMAIL PROTECTED]
