Hi,
I have my MT blog in a htaccess password protected directory within a larger site. I get a password prompt when I get to the blog, then I get another password prompt when I go to an entry page. The entry is in a year/month subdirectory
Any idea how to get rid of these subsequent password prompts?
URL looks like this
https://.../blog/2010/03/my-entry.html
Running Movable Type Pro version 4.32-en

You may like to point both the blog and your year/month subdirectory to the same password file and use a common password for both.
Thank you for sharing
It's a pleasure!
Thanks, but this does not solve the problem. I'm not using a password file, I'm using LDAP, but that's not really relevant. I'll try to clarify.
I have a private area, mysite.com/private, with lots of stuff in there. Amongst the other stuff is the blog, mysite.com/private/blog. Then there are entries under there, mysite.com/private/blog/2010/03/my-entry.html
The .htaccess file is in the top level of the private area, mysite.com/private. There are no other .htaccess files in the subdirectories. However, when you go to mysite.com/private/blog you have to login with your password. Once you've logged in, you are prompted again if you click to read an entry (mysite.com/private/blog/2010/03/my-entry.html).
I don't know why there's this additional prompt after you've already given your username & password and I'd like to get rid of it.

I think I figured this out. I had some static http://mydomain.com links and references in my templates that had to be switched to https, and I also had to switch the Site URL to https in the Publishing Settings. Seems to have solved the problem.

It solved it in the sense that now everything is based on https
Yes, that is what caused my problem, so that is the solution.
where exactly did you move the content to, in httpd.conf?
I didn't move the content, it was an issue with the templates. The templates I used had hard references to http: URLs, I had to change them to https or relative.
I am getting prompts for id/password for each image file displayed on the page. My .htaccess looks like this..
AuthName "Enter id and password"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /www/test/src/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /www/tst/src/.htgroup
require group admins
If I add this it won't even ask once for id/password:
Order Deny,Allow
Allow From All
Satisfy Any
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks admin
