Actually it is possible. &nbsp;It has been asked and answered here on EE, but for some reason I can't find it. &nbsp;IIRC instead of using mod_auth, you use mod_auth_digest and using the AuthDigestDomain directive.<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
i have a requirement to sercure a website for a customer.<br />
<br />
they have 2 apache web servers and i used mod_auth to do basic auth3entication on each webserver.<br />
<br />
but i have an issue, where the users request is passed from one webserver to another, and this means that the end user has to0 authenticate twice.<br />
<br />
So how can i have the authentication session mantained between both webservers.
