Could be your browsers settings. If you're running
Firefox go to
the menu Tools Options. Select Advanced and
scroll down to
the Certificates area.
Set Client Certificate Selection to Select
Automatically. This is
often the cause of such behaviour. Hope this helps.

Subject: certificate and authentication
re-prompting
I need some advice/help.
I am running...well my web host service is running...
Apache/2.0.46 (Red Hat) Server
openssl-0.9.7a-33.12
mod_ssl-2.0.46-44.ent
Also, I was originally set up through some kind of "virtual hosting", but I
paid extra for SSL, and I have a httpsdocs folder. (if you can't tell I'm new
to this)
I also use .htaccess with .htpasswd for user authentication.
Everything seems to be working fine, but my problem is...
I can enter my domain with the https://. OK
I get prompted to accept the certificate, and I get prompted for the
username/password. OK
The problem surfaces when I begin to browse around in the https area.
Sooner or later I will get re-prompted to accept the certificate and enter my
username/password, again.
I don't know why it does this, and my web hosting service can't seem to
explain it either.
I've reproduced the error on more than 4 computers.
I can't find anything that would cause my browser session to expire, in
mid-session.
Can anyone help me or give me a direction to go in?
Be Kind, I'm a new to apache and mod_ssl.
Thanks,
Craig
