These servers form groups that allow browsers to obtain authentication information from a user just once while accessing information on any one server cooperating in such a group. To achieve this behavior, the HTTP WWW-Authenticate header information must be extended. This approach is independent of the authentication scheme, but is most scalable in conjunction with a trusted third party authentication scheme, such as the proposed Mediated Digest Authentication.}, }
