When you say that you made it so that Apache handles the authentication,
I take that to mean you have created a .htaccess file? If that is the
case, Apache will always prompt for the password and check it against
your password file. If you use mod_rewrite to let Zope handle authentication,
you will not see the password prompt for resources that are available
to anonymous users.
