I didn't find any logged errors either -- turned out
to be a "finger error" in the Directory text I'd added
to httpd.conf. Apparently Apache didn't mind it, but
it was enough that Apache didn't know the directives in
that chunk of text had anything to do with the -actual-
directory being accessed and requested by the server,
so authentication was -not- attempted (under this Apache
setup) and vQadmin didn't receive the info it needed, from
the server.
Also in my case, the initial page looked like I was being
recognized -- but it was a page from the browser cache, I
think, and not reflective of "who" I was being as I approached
it this time. Had to close my browser down completely before
I could be seen as 'a new visitor'.
