Do you already send authentication failed responses? Because HTTP allows to 
preemptively send authentication information based on the path as long as it 
doesn't know the exact realm. So when you login as group 1 Konqy will 
continue to send along authentication for group 5 because it hasn't yet 
heared back from the server that it now wants the realm for group 1 instead. 
The server is then supposed to reply with an authentication denied response 
that includes the correct realm. After which Konqy is supposed to send the 
auth info for that new realm.

Cheers,
Waldo
