PPS: And for the record, I wouldn't have known myself until I tried it out to know (I sounded a little short in my initial reply and didn't want you to think I meant you should have known better). Thank you, for helping me learn something new today :-)

We don't have ours open (in fact very we keep access as limited in scope as is necessary; in our environment we can so we do - thank goodness for socks5 and ssh), but a little time testing yields answers for the auth question.
Set the same realm (AuthName directive) and password auth file(s) (AuthUserFile and optionally AuthGroupFile if using groups - recommended for multiple users so you can give everyone their own accounts, manage them simply via group management, and safely revoke access when needed) in all three locations. That will do the trick (Tested via Firefox, Opera, and Epiphany). Even setting the same password file(s) should be sufficient most of the time. I even can create the same user/pass credentials in separate password files and login only once to access all three locations.
