Re: Reverse Proxy multiple sites with basic auth

Thanks Amos.

That causes a big problem for me if basic authentication cannot be
shared across domains. Is there anyway I can configure squid so that
authentication challenge is sent for one or the other but not both.
For e.g if user is authenticated (basic) on siteA then don't ask for
authentication on siteB. Is this possible with squid in my
configuration?

For the other problem about authentication being asked twice - No the
target server does not need any basic authentication. It is running
tomcat. Squid causes browser to prompt for authentication when I type
https://x.domain.com. Then the url changes to include
/something;jsession=...... and then I get prompted again.
