authentication / groups

Hello,

I've set a virtual host on a apache 1.3.x with some .htaccess protected
directories:

htdocs/dir1
htdocs/dir2
htdocs/dir1

In every directory i've put a .htaccess file with the

....
require group dir[x]
....

The AuthUserFile and AuthGrouFile I'm using in every directory are
always the same files. When there is a user being a member in a group
having access to more than one directory (e.g. dir1, dir2), I'm getting
a second prompt for authentication when im changing from dir1 to dir2
and have to login again with the same login/pw combination. Is there a
way to repress that second ppassword prompt?

If you set the Authentication Realm (AuthName in apache) to the
same value, you may avoid the prompt. But this depends somewhat
on the browser.
