Authentication Prompt Text
|
Prompt for Authentication option enables you to enter message
text that appears in the authentication dialog box. You can use this text
to describe what the user needs to enter. Depending on the browser, the user
will see about the first 40 characters of the prompt.
Web browsers typically cache the username and password, and associate
them with the prompt text. When the user accesses files and directories of
the server having the same prompt, the usernames and passwords won’t
need to be entered again. If you want users to authenticate again for specific
files and directories, you simply need to change the prompt for the ACL on
that resource.
