:) I already tried with "No Challenge if Authenticated" but nothing 
changed, still asks AD on every GET.

I know nothing about PAU architecture... yet ;) If you, or some other 
PAU experts, could give some suggestions how to wire such a thing with 
zc.winauth and PAU, I would be grateful

Even if I could be able to reduce auth time to, say, one second, I'm 
afraid there still might be a problem with pages having more rich 
content - GET of every picture will be authenticated, so it still may be 
too much lag... but I'll try.
