If you're putting any spaces or special characters in the new AuthName, then enclose it in quotes. AuthName "My new realm name"
I did have periods, and apostrophes ... I had similar to:You have requested entry to a secure area. You must have a User-ID and Password to enter. If you don't have one, then you probably don't belong here
Would the ' and/or . be considered special characters? Thank!! Jale
