Have run into an interesting problem with username athentication in Apache 2.0. Don't know why since I have followed the syntax I have always followed which worked with out an issue. This is what I have in my httpd.conf file in a Virtual Host so I can keep it away from my dmz host. # BTW, The names of the real files have been changed # to protect the innocent penguin's that I will # place my super secret files into. <Directory "/var/www/secret" > AllowOverRide All AuthType Basic AuthUserFile httest Authname "Super Secret Site, Trust Me!" require valid-user </Directory> Then I created a simple file with htpasswd with a user named admin whose password is admin to test this configuration. Created with htpasswd -c /var/html/secret/httest admin my file "httest" looks like admin:.cz.qh01LXwVY brooks:brooks Well, I went to test it, got the username and password requester and entered admin and ***** ( aka admin ). I then created brooks with a plaintext password. It did not work either. It did like any of my passwords at all. I was rejected. ( snif snif ) I have checked and rechecked my syntax, so I know it is correct. I suspect my authentication is getting messed up somehow, but pam is still elusive to me. Any suggestions? Thanks, Brooks Kelley RHCE or bust!
