[users@httpd] Apache/Redhat Simple AuthType Basic not working :( help please
Hi all.
Happy New Year everybody.
I'm really having problems with this and I can't figure it out.
The problem is that apache seems to be ignoring any of the authentication
setup i've put in for a new virtual host. The pages are freely available to
anyone who goes to the URL. The error logs and access logs reflect this.
No errors, and access entries show regular web page serving.
I went through the tutorial (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/howto/auth.html)
and the apache manual (html version downlaoded to my computer) just to make
sure I wasn't missing anything and still having problems. I'm sure I've
overlooked something obvious so hopefully someone can help me out. (at least
I'm hoping it's something obvious that i've overlooked)
We're running Redhat 8.x, Apache2.0.48.
The httpd.conf file is quite convoluted (legacy, and this is where I think
i'm overlooking something). There are several virtualhost entries and the
problem I'm having is wiht a new Virtualhost for accessing reports of
webstats for a specific site.
There is an AllowOverride None in the main config area (before all the
Virtual hosts directives) in a <Directory /> directive . From what I
remember and what I read in one of the tutorials or manuals that means that
the .htaccess file is completely ignored which is why I'm doing everything
in the VirtualHost directive to be safe. (is this correct?)
Here is my Virtualhost entry:
<VirtualHost 10.253.32.174:80>
ServerName reports.auto-rebates.com
ServerAdmin webmaster@cardcommerce.com
DocumentRoot /home/www/reports.auto-rebates.com
DirectoryIndex index.html
Alias /awstatsjs "/usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/js/"
Alias /awstatsclasses "/usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/classes/"
Alias /awstatscss "/usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/css"
Alias /awstatsicons "/usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/icon"
<Directory />
AuthType Basic
AuthName "ReportsAutoRebates"
AuthUserFile /home/www/reports.auto-rebates.com/.rarpasswd
Require valid-user
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
I've also tried
Require user byau
as well (my test username) with no luck.
I created the password file using
# htpasswd -c /home/www/reports.auto-rebates.com/.rarpasswd byau
I've stopped and restarted the server every time I've changed anything.
I've also stopped and restarted my browser (IE on WinXP) and deleted temp
browser files in case I was already auth for that dir and for that reason
was skipping future auth. Also accessed the pages using lynx on localhost
and still no auth required. There are no errors. only entries in access
just like normal web page serving
It's worth mentioning that there is a virtual host that uses /home/www as
its documentroot that has its own auth configs. These do work by the way.
When I close/repoen browser and attepmt to go to the reports website in
/home/www/reports.auto-rebates.com, there is no auth asked for at all so I
don't think it is that I have already somehow been validated into /home/www
and am now being validated into /home/www/reports.auto-rebates.com. Is it
possible that configurations for /home/www i affecting configs for
/home/www/reports.auto-rebates.com even though they are in different
<Virtualhost> directives?
Here is the first <Virtualhost> entry:
<VirtualHost 10.253.32.174:80>
ServerName www.escrip.com
CauchoConfigFile /usr/local/resin/conf/escrip.conf
Serveradmin webadmin@rmsys.net
DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.jsp index.HTM /error/404.html
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/www/escripinc_pub/cgi-bin/
Alias /dev/ /home/www/dev/escripinc_pub/
DocumentRoot /home/www/escripinc_pub/
<Directory />
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Escrip Staging"
AuthUserFile /home/www/.esipasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
Require valid-user
</Directory>
</Virtualhost>
And here is the config stuff before the first <Virtualhost>. I took out all
the things that didn' tlook relevant (like Add* and BrowserMatch* and things
like that)
User nobody
Group nobody
ServerAdmin webmaster@cardcommerce.com
ServerName tarpon.internal.cci
UseCanonicalName Off
DocumentRoot "/usr/local/apache2.0.48/htdocs"
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
AccessFileName .htaccess
<Files ~ "^\.ht">
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
</Files>
TypesConfig conf/mime.types
DefaultType text/plain
<IfModule mod_mime_magic.c>
MIMEMagicFile conf/magic
</IfModule>
HostnameLookups Off
Thanks anybody for any ideas on where I can look. At this point I'm just
trying random things out to see if anything works. I realize there are
other issues to solve (such as not putting the AuthUserFile in same dir as
DocumentRoot). That's the legacy they are using on the test server that
I'll talk to him about later. All I need to do right now is just get the
username/password working for this virtual host.
Thanks!
Cheers!
Ben

Tom.
Thanks for the tip. We recentlyupgraded to 2.0.48. I downgraded to 2.0.45
(prevoius versoin) and it works now.
Also, the authname on the dialog box is a valid one defined in the
httpd.conf file. The identical httpd.conf file in the 2.0.48 apache
1) did not auth for reports.auto-rebate.com
2) did auth for youthfocusfund.com but with an authname that wasn't in
httpd.conf
go figure :/
Thanks for your help! And for tolerating my crazinesss!

[users@httpd] IT GETS WEIRDER!!! RE: [users@httpd] Apache/Redhat Simple AuthType Basic not working :( help please
Posted by Ben Yau <by...@cardcommerce.com>.
Tom !! I'm not alone in the world!
Okay, so the old admin had a habit of doing a lot of copying and pasting.
In doing so of the 9 authnames there were only 2 unique ones . So Iwent in
and made each authname unique. Then I went to a server were the auth was
working and the authname on the dialog box WAS NOT EVEN ONE DEFINED IN THE
HTTPD.CONF!!
I created "hello world" test.html files just to ensure that it was loading
the HTML from the machine i though it should be. and it was . However, the
authname that came up was not in the httpd.conf file for the apache server
running on that machine.
So anyone seen THAT before ?
echo "hello world from youthfocusfund" > /home/www/yff/test.html
echo "hello world from auto-rebates.com" >
/home/www/reports.auto-rebates.com/test.html
# grep -i "authname" httpd.conf
AuthName SSLStaging1
AuthName SSLStaging2
AuthName testing3
AuthName "Escrip Staging1"
AuthName "Escrip Staging2"
AuthName SSLStaging4
AuthName YOUTHFOCUSFUND
AuthName SSLStaging5
AuthName REPORTSAUTOREBATE
# apachectl stop
# apachectl start
(just to be sure)
load up www.youthfocusfund.com/test.html
asks for user/password and the authname says "SSLStaging" (??) . I type in
my user pass and it loads up the proper test.html page. (how is my
user/pass even working ? Or how is that authname getting in there?)
load up www.reports.auto-rebates.com/test.html
loads up, no questoins asked.
Further, just to make sure.
# grep -i documentroot httpd.conf
all the docroots are in /home/www. Just to make sure there are no stray
.htaccess flie (or any other access file)
# cd /home/www
# find . -type f -print | xargs grep -i authname 2> /dev/null
All the authnames which come up are not SSLStaging
agggghhh
thanks for your help so far guys :) I think this one may be beyond me .
I'm asking the legacy admin right now and he's just as puzzled.

Posted by "Tom Holmes Jr." <to...@tomholmes.net>.
Yep, same issue I am having ... we are both using 2.0.48 and everything I
setup is the same as what you did. I went to a slightly older version of
Apache on another machine, and set the configuration up the same way and it
worked.
I am also taking shots in the dark and restarting Apache everytime. I
wonder how many other people are having the same problem? At least I feel
better that I am not alone in this.
Thanks.
Tom
p.s. If I get it working, I'll let you know.

Hi Brian.
Hmm. I hadn't used <Location> before. Basically, any file in the document
root of this virtual host should require the AuthType Basic to work. And so
far in each virtual host directive used in our httpd.conf file the auth
stuff is put in a directory container and i want to keep up their convention
for now. Would there be a difference in this case using <Location> vs.
<Directory> since every file will be accesed throuhg a URL and I believe
once accessed they don't have to authenticate again (like for any images
included in the web page?). Or is that incorrect? The docs I had seen led
me to believe once authneticated they didn't have to again for each image,
etc in the page that is downloaded with that page.
I'll try the <Location> for kicks to see what happens.
Thanks
Ben

Are you sure you want a Directory container and not a Location
container? Directory referrs to the filesystem, whereas Location refers
to URLs. So if you want authentication for every URL of a virtual host,
I'd use "<Location />" in that vhost container. But that doesn't
actually explain why the above works for one vhost and not another.
