.htaccess and java applet
|
|
|
| Hi there, I've got here a website under apache 2.0.54 that has some
pages protected with basic authentication, provided by
..htaccess/.htpassword files. The problem I have is that a Java applet,
that is in the "protected" hierarchy, seems to need username/password
even if I have done this before (to reach the page), otherwise it
doesn't work.
I don't know how things work exactly, but it seems that the applet
behaves as separate from the browser, so that even if I'm already logged
in, the applet still has to. Is this true for all Java applets?
BTW, how can I avoid this? Is there a way to configure apache so that
requests from the applet (or from its address...) aren't processed by
mod_auth?
thanks

Your browser keep sending the user and the password with each subsequent
request, doesn't matter if you want it or not, the Applet is probably
trying to access some resources in the same directory but it does
without sending the authentication information.

You could try to use the Satisfy directive to 'unprotect' wathever the
applet is trying to reach, but the simplest way is to put the applet
outside the protected area.
See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#satisfy
