Allow REMOTE_USER to access subdirs

Hi All

I am looking for a solution where I login to the home page using
SecurID/RADIUS account. Then I have multiple dirs underneath the home
page that I like to setup with group authorization and use the
authenticated credetials of the home page to login without any second
prompt.

So if I have two users userone and usertwo. I let them in the homepage
using their securid/radius account authentication. Underneat the
homepage I have two dirs called dirone and dirtwo. I want only userone
OR groupone to be able to access dirone and only usertwo/grouptwo to
have access authorization in dirtwo without prompting for their
credentials for the second time. Basically once it gets the REMOTE_USER
just check that user against before giving it access to the sub
directories w/o a second login prompt.

Thanks for any help/suggestion with this. I am planning to implement it
with apache 1.3x+ mod_ssl on Solaris 9 

Thanks again
