Regardong cookie authentication using something like
libapache2-mod-auth-memcookie (Debian/Ubuntu) in SSL host should provide
what you want. The ssl should protect you from traffic sniffing and MITM.

The suggestion of using client ssl certificates will also do the trick but
that requiers setting up PKI and self signed CA, or CA signed by official
authority depends on how important the certificate verification is for you.
The apache config is then explained in Apache 2.x official documentation.
The link sent to you in the previous reply should also do.

Only other autologin option I can think of might be basic apache
authentication and then you put the encripted username and password in the
url or query string. Then you can put this url as a shortcat on each client
station desktop. But in this case you will expose the url in the browser
bar and the shortcat so again you will need to trust yhe users they are not
going to steal it.
