Hobbit uses standard Web server authentication methods, so you should
look at your httpd.conf config for this.  Using additional <Directory>
or <Location> containers should help you out.  Use the same AuthRealm
setting for all of these containers (same as you use on the cgi-secure
directory), and you will not get additional prompts for credentials.
