Re: certificate and authentication re-prompting

Could be your browsers settings. If you're running Firefox go to
the menu Tools > Options. Select Advanced and scroll down to
the Certificates area.
Set Client Certificate Selection to Select Automatically. This is
often the cause of such behaviour. Hope this helps.

Best regards

  Subject: certificate and authentication re-prompting


  I need some advice/help.

  I am running...well my web host service is running...

  Apache/2.0.46 (Red Hat) Server

  openssl-0.9.7a-33.12 

  mod_ssl-2.0.46-44.ent

  Also, I was originally set up through some kind of "virtual hosting", but I paid extra for SSL, and I have a httpsdocs folder. (if you can't tell I'm new to this)

  I also use .htaccess with .htpasswd for user authentication.

  Everything seems to be working fine, but my problem is...

  I can enter my domain with the https://. OK

  I get prompted to accept the certificate, and I get prompted for the username/password. OK

  The problem surfaces when I begin to browse around in the https area. Sooner or later I will get re-prompted to accept the certificate and enter my username/password, again.

  I don't know why it does this, and my web hosting service can't seem to explain it either.

  I've reproduced the error on more than 4 computers.

  I can't find anything that would cause my browser session to expire, in mid-session.

  Can anyone help me or give me a direction to go in?

  Be Kind, I'm a new to apache and mod_ssl.

  Thanks,

  Craig
