Browser Window Requires (Maybe) Reload After 401 Response

[mxhash]

Describe the bug

Not sure if it is really a bug. Using web server authentication with an external auth backend other than basic HTTP authentication, where the web server can expire the session and log out the user (e.g., mod_auth_openidc). The intercepted HTTP requests do not allow the full features for re-authentication. After a full top window reload, the authentication process starts again.

To Reproduce

Provide a link to a live example, or an unambiguous set of steps to reproduce this issue. Include configuration, logs, etc. to reproduce, if relevant.

1. Configure the web server with authentication (e.g., mod_auth_openidc)
2. Choose an external authentication backend for primary authentication
3. Let the web server session (not Icinga Web’s) expire
4. Target content areas show the 401 output

Expected behavior

Let a top window reload try to reauthenticate
