[users@httpd] RESOLVED (sort of): Re: [users@httpd] Basic Authentication with Apache 2.44 on Solaris 8 doesn't appear to work

[Richard Crawford <rc...@unexmail.ucdavis.edu>]

I've done some Googling on JRun and Apache and authentication, figuring 
that JRun might be interfering with the process somehow.

I was right.  It seems that the JRun module loaded by

	LoadModule jrun_module

intercepts http requests before Apache does, so the authentication requests 
are never received by Apache.

This is ugly.  There is probably a way to address the issue using Cold 
Fusion or JSP but I can't think of anything off the top of my head.

Thanks to everyone who responded with suggestions.  I really appreciate it!

Thanks for the tip.  Unfortunately, it didn't work.

I'm learning that the intermingling of JRun and Apache is a bizarre 
labyrinthine construct of entangled processes and servers, maintaining a 
delicate balance that will crash your web services app if you look at them 
funny.  Gah.

Have you tried changing the order that the jrun_module is loaded/added?

Or vice-versa.

I had problems with php not parsing content on ssl sites, and it turned out
that the order of mod_ssl and php mattered.

Of course, be sure to restart apache after httpd.conf changes.
