Dear HTTPD users, I am fairly new to Apache, but my server is running and I am successfully serving up html and php. Now I want to add DIGEST authentication when a user tries to access the /private directory off of my WebRoot directory. My webroot directory is /var/www/html and is configured as such in the httpd.conf file. So...here is the information. 1) I am running Apache version 2.0.54 on FC4. 2) I have loaded the mod_auth.so, mod_auth_anon.so, mod_auth_dbm.so, and mod_auth_digest.so. 3) I have used htdigest tool to create a password file call htdigusers in the /etc/httpd/conf directory and have added a user called leo with a password of testing (<--this is not the real password). 4) I have added a section to my httpd.conf file to force digest authentication for the /private directory. This section reads as follows: <Location /private/> AuthType Digest AuthName "private area" AuthDigestDomain http://sip.telecomcto.com AuthDigestFile /etc/httpd/conf/htdigusers Require valid-user </Location> 5) I put a file called index.html in the /private directory. When I access http://sip.telecomcto.com/private Firefox brings up the username password box, but when I type it in it does not accept the username and password and just brings up the dialog box again.. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING? PLEASE HELP. ________________________________ Telecom CTO Leo Papadopoulos 10 Old Stone Court Ridgefield, CT 06877 Tel: 203-438-8117 Cell: 203-788-6364 E-mail: leo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web site: www.telecomCTO.com ________________________________ Telecom CTO Leo Papadopoulos 10 Old Stone Court Ridgefield, CT 06877 Tel: 203-438-8117 Cell: 203-788-6364 E-mail: leo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web site: www.telecomCTO.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
