as a slight protection for the staging beta phase, I am using a filter in my application_controller
before_filter :authenticate_apache ... def authenticate_apache if Rails.env == "production" authenticate_or_request_with_http_basic do |user, pass| ["user1", "user2", "user"].include?(user) && pass=="staging_password" end end end
.. going to the root page, the authentication is requested as it should be.. once authenticated the user is on the home page => www.mydomain.com
then when the user request another page by clicking on the menu, the authentication is requested another time => www.mydomain.com/pages/area1 then for any subsequent page request, the authentication is not anymore requested
any idea why this is running twice ? thanks fro any clue
