Midgard will authenticate users in two ways: first, if the browser
volunteers HTTP auth credentials (as received from the user with the
usual popup window), it will match against that. If the authentication
fails that's where the process stops.
If the page or host requires authentication but the browser doesn't
volunteer credentials, Midgard will look for a cookie named
MidgardLogin,
which must contain the (uuencoded, I don't know if that's default
for cookies) credentials as username:password (or
username+sitegroup:password).
You can set this cookie with the regular PHP functions. Moreover,
cookies
are easier to expire so a relogin using this would actually work more
reliably than with HTTP auth (which officially doesn't provide it and
the browser fighting you all the way).
