A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
I am still experiensing the problem with multiple logins when using basic authentication. The problem now seems to be limited to https://, with http: it works fine.

When the server is configured to use basic authentication together with https (as is recommended) and when user accesses to the server with IE, it pops up a login dialog, after user provides the right login credentials, the response page is sent back to browser. If the response page contains a java applet tag with codebase pointing to an archive file on the the same server, jre 1.5 will popup another login dialog, user has to provide username/password again to dismiss it.

A similar problem was described in bug 4943729, that has been closed.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
