Hi,
I'm going to setup two web servers, both will be authenticating by ldap, this is how I would like both to behave:
Case 1: User access directly a page from server1, apache2 asks for user & password. Case 2: User access directly a page from server2, apache2 asks for user & password. Case 3: User access directly webappA on server1, apache2 asks for user & password, then then clicks a link on webappA to webappB on server2 and apache2 on server2 lets the user work WITHOUT asking for user & password and STILL sees him as Joe-the-authenticated user.
Is it possible for apache2 running on server1 to pass the credentials to server2?, can this be done?
This type of problem is usually taken care of by session-persistence in your load-balancer. I'm not sure, but I don't think apache has got anything that will help you.

I'm not using a load balancer... They are just two standalone web servers running different applications.. I was almost sure it hasn't... Ciro
