 Posted: Tue 13 Jan '09 18:53 Post subject: Windows Apache authentication |
 |
|
I'm trying to get basic and then eventually digest authentication to work on my windows installation of apache 2.0.63. I have it set up like
| Code: |
<directory ....>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
AuthName "login Required"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/digest"
require valid-user
</directory>
|
This does ask for authentication but the user/passwords specified in the file never succeed for authentication. Am i missing something?

Just assuming....
htdigest.exe is for making the digest type of password files.
For basic auth, htpasswd.exe needs to be used.
They are not interchangeable. |

I originally tried digest first and just named the password file digest. I've been using htpasswd.exe to make my passwords for basic authentication since digest authentcation was causing apache to crash
| Code: | | b:$apr1$ph5.....$yqQO.UuC369gZsaRCPjD90 |
this is the password file. username and password is 'b' |
