[users@httpd] Help with Digest Authentication

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

 



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.
