Bug#224259: apache: user not found in Basic authentication
Package: apache
Version: 1.3.29.0.1-1
Severity: important
Hello,
I have encountered the following problem: I set up Basic authentication
in access.conf:
<Directory /var/www/zeon/dev/admin>
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Passwor Required"
AuthUserFile /etc/apache/pwd
Require valid-user
</Directory>
/etc/apache/pwd contains:
addmin:J/HrQ7c/b6bNQ
jerry:jerry
Symptom: the browser pops up the authentication window, I enter the
details, but after a few tries I got an Authorization required.
In the logs:
[Wed Dec 17 13:43:26 2003] [error] user jerry not found: /dev/admin
[Wed Dec 17 13:43:27 2003] [error] user jerry not found: /dev/admin
[Wed Dec 17 13:43:27 2003] [error] user jerry not found: /dev/admin
Apache does not complain, if the /etc/apache/pwd file is missing, and
according to strace, it does not even touch it.
