Description Robert Elves CLA 2009-03-30 14:30:19 EDT 
When an update site references multiple urls (i.e. main site with associates) the initial authentication (for a top level realm) works fine but subsequent requests to other parts of the site (yet in the same realm) result in repeated prompts to authenticate. Is p2's http authentication url specific instead of realm specific?
Comment 1 Henrik Lindberg CLA 2009-03-30 16:47:05 EDT 
The patch in bug 216278 modified the behavior for association between "key" and "password" - it used to store the password per "directory" - now it should associate the password with the hostname (at least when addressing is made with non opaque URIs (e.g. http, file. ftp...)).

Please try again with a build that includes patch in bug 216278.

BTW: The new code that does this is in org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.repository.Credentials if you are interested in checking how it works.

Thanks for the info Henrik. I'll test with a new build later this week and report back.
