texte = I'm ready to migrate my server to OSX, and have to decide on using WebStar or just Apache by itself. In searching the archives for another issue, I unexpectedly came across the problem with WebStar5 not giving a user a second try if he messes up his authentication with realm protection. I have two questions: 1. Is this an Apache limitation, or WebStar's 2. Is this a failure of either username or password, or only of a nonexistent username? In other words, if they mess up the password part of an existing username, will they get the box again for another go at the password. Oh, I guess a third question: 3. Is WebStar seeing this as something that needs to be fixed, or just an "Oh well..." thing.
