htpasswd weirdness

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



My small web server is now mostly working, but I'm having a very
strange problem. I can *usually* add user accounts from the Shell using
htpasswd, and they can log in successfully.

Except when I can't.

In *some" cases, usernames are added to the password file, and the
password verifies correctly (using 'htppasswd -v ...'), but Apache
still throws an error, e.g.:

[Sat Apr 29 17:12:10.790251 2023] [authz_core:error] [pid 17622:tid 17769] [client 82.69.61.82:40716] AH01631: user notatest: authorization failure for "/": 

(NB: "authorization failure", not "authentication failure" as with a
password mismatch.)

Since these are all fictitious users (i.e. not local UIDs) I don't
understand what's going on. Either it should always work or always
fail.

Suggestions welcome.
