Amos,

Thnx for your reply,

We have tried "auth_param basic credentialsttl 2 hours " but whenever
user closes the browser, and reopened password box appears again and again.

But i want to keep this authentication (session) for 2 hours.

in that case what should i do, have you an idea?

thanx,
Emre
