That's the way authentication works. The credentials are only kept while one browser window is open. If you close your browser and open it again it does not know your login credentials any longer and has to ask again. > Im just wondering if this problem will be solve by LDAP authentication? No. Unless you have Windows clients and have the possibility to use NTLM authentication you will always have to authenticate. In the case of NTLM this is done by passing through your login credentials. > Also can you anybody redirect me to the most complete and simple > installation and configuration site of LDAP? LDAP is just a protocol. You need a backend directory that you query through LDAP. If you don't have such a directory yet then take a look at OpenLDAP.
