+### GssapiNegotiateOnce
+
+When this option is enabled the Negotiate header will not be resent if 
+Negotiation has already been attempted but failed.
+
+Normally when a client fails to use Negotiate authentication, a HTTP 401 
+response is returned with a WWW-Authenticate: Negotiate header, implying that 
+the client can retry to use Negotiate with different credentials or a 
+different mechanism.
+
+Consider enabling GssapiNegotiateOnce when only one single sign on mechanism 
+is allowed, or when GssapiBasicAuth is enabled.
+
+**NOTE:** if the initial Negotiate attempt fails, some browsers will fallback 
+to other Negotiate mechanisms, prompting the user for login credentials and 
+reattempting negotiation. This situation can mislead users - for example if 
+krb5 authentication failed and no other mechanisms are allowed, a user could 
+be prompted for login information even though any login information provided 
+cannot succeed. When this occurs, some browsers will not fall back to a Basic 
+Auth mechanism. Enable GssapiNegotiateOnce to avoid this situation.
+
+- **Enable with:** GssapiNegotiateOnce On
+- **Default:** GssapiNegotiateOnce Off
