Ever since upgrading our server to v7, when a user logs onto DWA or webmail, they’re prompted for a password for every directory they hit: their mailfile, /mail, /, /inotes.
Directory ACL for all these are empty (allow everybody). And it appears you can’t set a directory ACL for the root data folder anyway.
How do I get around this? Users don’t want to have to enter their passwords 4 times. BTW, this isn’t browser for platform specific. Happens on Mac/PC with IE or Firefox.

Directory or file path Enter the name of the path that you want to protect. It should be in either the fully-qualified path format, which includes the drive letter; for example, use “c:\lotus\domino\data\domino\cgi-bin,” or the relative path to the server’s data directory for example, “domino\cgi-bin.”
Realm label returned to browser Enter a text string that describes the location on the server or any other descriptive string, which will be used as the realm that is displayed to the user and stored by the browser. This string should not contain any accented or international characters, because they will not be displayed correctly by the browser.
The browser displays the text string whenever there is an authentication or authorization failure at the location. The text appears in the browser's authentication dialog.
Save and close the document.
Enter this command at the console so that the settings take effect:
