I have a Java applet that is being included on a page in a directory that is password protected through a .htaccess file. When browses to pages in this directory I naturally have to authenticate at the beginning of a new session, but the problem is that this Java “Authentication Required” box is popping up on every page load.
I thought that maybe putting the applet outside of the password protected directory might fix the problem, but no joy.
Any idea what can be done to prevent the “Authentication Required” box from coming up?
Thank you!
Much as I’d like the bounty, I believe this question is a duplicate (of Applet displays login dialog if basic authentication used). I also believe that there’s currently no workaround other than taking the jar file out of the htaccess-protected area of the web site.
