PS: We're running LAMP stack Apache 2.0 should it make a difference.

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.

I am curious to see how the crew here on the mailing list secures their Hobbit from the outside world. I need to have the WWW pages visible from every IP but only from certain people, therefor I need to use users and passwords. Our Hobbitmon is viewed via cell phones and computers (IE and Firefox) and protected by an HTTP(S) login currently. The problem is that with three different Directory statements in httpd.conf, you need to login three times every time you restart Firefox.
Also, how many businesses have Hobbitmon wide open for the viewing, such as Henrik's demo, if any?
