My experience with Apache Basic Authentication tells me that: 1) It is possible to use the same .htpasswd file for more than one domain 2) Users will have to sign-on to each domain, even though the passwords are the same. Browsers cache passwords (until you quit the browser) but associate them with specific domains. So one.example.com and two.example.com are seen as different. However, one.example.com/wikione and one.example.com/wikitwo will not force a scond sign-on. If you are NOT using Apache BA and are just using .htpasswd to store PmWiki authuser passwords then you should *may* able to have a single sign-on. But I think the browser cookies that store the passwords may be different. Note that the password caching in Apache BA and the cookies used by authuser are completely separate mechanisms. -- Neil Herber Corporate info at http://www.eton.ca/ _______________________________________________ pmwiki-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users
