[PHP-DB] bypassing apache's authentication dialog From: omar cromwell mercado (ocmercado <email protected>)
Date: 11/29/00

hi, im making a portal site in php using sessions
where users are required to log in. For certain users
who has logged, there is a link in their page leading
to a separate url that is restricted with apache's
htaccess.

The username db htaccess uses is synchronized with my
own user table, but i do not have control over the
design of the htaccess-protected page. So whenever the
logged user clicks on the url, he will be asked again
for his username and password (courtesy of apache, not
php sessions).

Is there a way i can bypass this apache
username/password dialog box by perhaps supplying the
username/password in some way? i find it quite
annoying for users to supply their username/password
again.

i could have revised the page to be a part of my
portal and thus be controlled by my sessions, but
unfortunately, i really have no control over that
page, so ill just work around htaccess.

Any ideas?

Omar Mercado
