After the latest updates from my distro, the basic authentication has stopped working in Apache. I didn't touch it; even (re-)generated from scratch in that directory It doesn't show the/any password-prompt, simply permitting access to anybody. I'm running TAO-Linux; just took over the adminship 5 days ago. Here I post for hints about debugging; and possible oversights on my side. The recreated file (simplified, just for testing) reads AuthType Basic AuthName "Authenticate" AuthUserFile /usr/local/apache/passwd/passwords Require user ME <Limit GET POST PUT> require valid-user </Limit> Permissions: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 161 Mar 12 19:21 .htaccess --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
