This username/password dialog box is presented even after a successful authentication. Additionally, any access request for images or css templates from the html pages is not displayed. Apache gives error code 401 for these requests. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mozilla-1.4.3-3.0.7 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Set up digest authentication on apache 2.Access the site using mozilla shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux Actual Results: 1.Mozilla shows page without css formating or images 2.Click on any link, you are again asked for the authentication information.
