HTTPAuthentication login

Hello all.

I set up trac 0.10.4 on opensuse with YAST, using tracd with SQLite.
So far all seems to work. The only problem I have right now is with
the login. When I enter the login data, the password dialog closes
shortly, but opens again.

I set up authentication as descriped on the page wiki/TracStandalone
in the tracGuide.

tracd is started with:
tracd -d --port 8090 --auth=*,/absolutepathto/users.htdigest, -e
/absolutepathto/trac

htdigest file is created with:
htpasswd2 -c users.htdigest username

After restarting tracd, when I try to login (using the login-link on
the page), the password dialog is shown ok. After pushing the ok
button, the dialog closes shortly but opens up again.

Looking at the log (set to debug), there is no login related info
contained. tracd has rw access to the user.htdigest file.

Any idea what the problem might be? I know it is something simple, but
I just don't find it.

Thanks,
Michael Vogt

Your --auth parameter is missing the realm

HTH,

Re: HTTPAuthentication login [In reply to]

Moreover:

* htpasswd creates basic authentication files
* htdigest creates digest authentication files

You're using a digest authentication scheme (--auth) with a basic
authentication file (htpasswd): it cannot work.

Either
* select basic authentication for use with your htpasswd file, or
* select digest-based authentication and create a digest file.

Cheers,
Manu

When I remember correctly, the * in the auth-value should match all
projects. Is this wrong?

Thanks,

No, this is correct, however:

*,/absolutepathto/users.htdigest,

is missing the realm:

project,auth_file,realm

Added the realm and it worked immediately.

Thanks a lot,
