Title: Priimary i-bay requesting username/passwd
Post by: Jon_Reynolds on August 22, 2004, 10:35:06 PM

For some odd reason my Primary i-bay is wanting a username/password. I have gone back through the server-manager and looked through the directory but cannot figure out why it is wanting one. Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this?

Thanks for any help,

Jon

Ok, a little more information. I am receiving this in my error_log:
[Sun Aug 22 14:59:12 2004] [error] access to /home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary/html failed for 192.168.5.89, reason: AuthExtern pwauth [/usr/lib/apache/pwauth]: Failed (1) for user

I have found a similiar error in the forums relating to amavis-ng from pagefault.org, which I have installed. There is a problem with amavis when it runs a scan it changes the permissions on /bin/bash. I checked my permissions and they are correct. I am also not running the scan at all.

I am unsure where to look to fix this problem can anyone shed some light on this or give me another direction to look in?

Thanls for any help,

Jon

and a little more info. When the dialog box for username password shows up for the primary i-bay no matter what username/passwd entered for admin or other users nothing works.

Where should I look for this problem? What will make a password prompt pop up? I can't find an .htaccess file anywhere so I don't know where to look.

Please help,

Jon

Ok, I found the problem. Here is my Primary i-bay now:

#------------------------------------------------------------
# Primary ibay directories (Primary i-bay)
#------------------------------------------------------------

<Directory /home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary/html>
    Options Indexes
    Options +Includes
    AllowOverride None
    order deny,allow
    deny from all
    allow from all
#    AuthName "Primary i-bay"
#    AuthType Basic
#    AuthExternal pwauth
#    require user Primary
#    Satisfy all
</Directory>

<Directory /home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary/cgi-bin>
    Options ExecCGI
    AllowOverride None
    order deny,allow
    deny from all
    allow from all
 #   AuthName "Primary i-bay"
 #   AuthType Basic
 #   AuthExternal pwauth
 #   require user Primary
 #   Satisfy all
</Directory>

<Directory /home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary/files>
    AllowOverride None
    order deny,allow
    deny from all
    allow from all
 #   AuthName "Primary i-bay"
 #   AuthType Basic
 #   AuthExternal pwauth
 #   require user Primary
 #   Satisfy all
</Directory>

I commented out all the authentication directives and now it is working. I am at a loss to explain why this happened or how it happened. So if anyone can shed light on this I would be most appreciative.

Thanks,

Jon

I have now tracked down the script that causes this. When I run '/sbin/e-smith/signal-event emailupdate' it causes my httpd.conf file to add authentication for the Primary i-bay.

Has anybody seen this before?
