It works fine.. I authenticate and get access to mythweb.<br>

It also works with iOS, except for the recurring annoyance that Safari does not remember my user/pass and automatically authenticate (as it does on the desktop version). So, I have to repeatedly enter my credentials on the tiny little on-screen keyboard.<br>
<br>
Does this happen for everyone, or is ti just me? I have not seen any other reports of this annoyance. Are there other authentication schemes accessible in mythweb? Maybe something that uses a login cookie which will persist on my browser and sidestep the recurring auth?</span></td>

Look into the settings of the browser you use there.<br>

<div> </div><div>Thanks for the responses. Yes, iOS does store passwords for other www sites, and I enabled the store password override. But, it didn't change the behavior.</div><div><br></div><div>I think the settings above apply to HTML forms with password elements. iOS does a good job of remembering and filling those. But, the MythWeb authentication is a web server level authentication (i.e. before the http request is performed, the web server forces authentication). Desktop browsers handle it fine and either automatically supply the password or auto-fill it. But, iOS Safari does not.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I've experienced this behavior on two different iPhones and three iPads. So, I didn't think it was anything specific to my particular devices. I'm surprised no one else has been seeing this.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I think a better way is to authenticate and then set a cookie which can be used to validate any future connection transparently. But, I'm not sure how hard that would be to overlay on top of mythweb..</div>
