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:

ALERT! If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

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".
