Greetings

Firstly, great job with Fileman, porting it to the RaQ. It's about time someone looked after those of us with the little blue boxes. ;)

However, Protect seems to be failing. We move into a specific folder...it has an index file only in it...we enter a username:password to protect it with, and it reports that the user was added. However, that use cannot enter the secured folder.

Any tips?

Gary

Hi,

Is this with the RAQ version or the regular version? Also, what does the contents of the .htaccess and .htpasswd file that FileMan should have generated look like? Finally, the error log might hold some clues as to why the username/pass isn't working.

Cheers,

Alex

HI Alex,

The .htaccess and .htpassword files for raq's are slightly different, I havesent you a program which has them listed in the code by email.

Not in my experience. What have you found to be different?

This is how the htaccess file looks for a raq.

"AuthType Basic\n";

"AuthName \"Password Protected Area\"\n";

"AuthUserFile $htpassfile\n";

"require valid-user\n";

"AuthPAM_Enabled off\n";

This is how it looks for unix,

"AuthType Basic\n";

"AuthName \"Password Protected Area\"\n";

"AuthUserFile $htpassfile\n";

"require valid-user\n";



This code is taken from a piece of directory passing software, and it specifically asks you if you are using a RAQ.

Everything is the same as a normal .htaccess except fot

"AuthPAM_Enabled off\n";

....but that isn't needed on some raqs. You must have a raq3?

Hi,

No A RAQ4 and this is what Alex has been testing the .pkg on, I will check out the authentication on my box, as this has the original install that Alex tested it on, maybe its, RAQ# dependent.

What RAQ are you using?

I used to use a Raq4r which would accept normal htaccess configuration. AuthPAM wasn't needed.

HI,

Checked it on my RAQ4 and it works fine.

Hi,

The AuthPAM_Enabled Off directive tells Apache not to accept system login passwords.

I just tested this out, and as long as you specify AuthUserFile and AuthGroupFile, PAM isn't going to be used anyway, so that shouldn't matter.

Really, we need to see what's in the error log. =)

Cheers,

Alex
