Hello,
This is an issue in the geoserver/authkey implementation and this happens if you are logged in a previous different way (example when you login on the webinterface)
with the same browser the sessionid of the previous connection is kept.
This is a bug, but known the race condition this can be used in production. It seems that with the rework of the authkey in 2.4 this is solved but this is a non production version.
Best regards,
Eric

I have setup my installation of GeoServer 2.2.5 so that certain data is secured using a username and password. I would like to use the authkey plugin so that my users can access the data and I can track their usage.
I downloaded the nightly build of the plugin from http://gridlock.opengeo.org/geoserver/2.2.x/community-2013-02-28/ and extracted the authkey-2.2-SNAPSHOT.jar into the lib folder and then restarted GeoServer. After restarting I can see that the authkeys file has been generated and is located at "<GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR>/security/authkeys.properties". I have uncommented the lines generated with my user accounts to "activate" the keys.
Problem is, when I try and access the WMS using the authkey I am being challenged for the username/password for the Geoserver Realm -- why? I can see nothing in the logs to suggest why the authkey is being ignored -- is this a problem with the authkey plugin working with the new security model recently introduced?
Many thanks,
