pam'rs- here's a weird one, slightly off thread, but i don't know where else to ask! i have mod_auth_pam setup with apache 2.x.x (multiple versions). and have protected a directory with an .htaccess file as in AuthType "Basic" AuthName "fd" Require group fd now, this *works*. but only *sometimes*. we have determined (i am not joking) that with certain browsers if one types too quickly in the password entry field the authentication with fail!! i'm guessing this may have something to do with grabbing chars from the textbox and echo'ing them with '*' and the non-portable methods used to do that, but this sounds absolutely crazy even as i'm writing it! again. the setup works - i can authenticate. if i type the password quickly i can make it fail over and over. it's not just me or my bad typing - i've tried this with three people know and it happen far to consistently to explain by typos. what other part of the chain could make auth *intermittently* fail? totally perplexed. -a -- ==================================== | Ara Howard | NOAA Forecast Systems Laboratory | Information and Technology Services | Data Systems Group | R/FST 325 Broadway | Boulder, CO 80305-3328 | Email: ara.t.howard@xxxxxxxxxxxx | Phone: 303-497-7238 | Fax: 303-497-7259 | ~ > ruby -e 'p % ^) .intern' ==================================== _______________________________________________ Pam-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/pam-list
