Question

I use TWiki as Document Management system. I installed SessionPlugin, WebDAVPlugin and mod_ssl to protect sensitive documents and passwords. Everything is working fine except one annoying feature - user have to authenticate twice. First time for /twiki/bin/.htaccess, second time for TWikiScript /home/httpd/twiki/bin/dav.pl login script. First login is necessary for authenticate users and second to protect web folders. How can I use one authentication for both purpose?

httpd.conf:

This may be something to do with the Auth Realm, or it may be caused by SSL. I have successfully set up sites so that one auth served both purposes, though not with SSL. All I can say is that "it should be possible".
