Now that Apache for Cygwin seems to work more reliably I have started
using it as my web server. However authentication (that was working
with Apache for Windows) broke. I'm wondering if this is an Apache
for Cygwin specific problem.
I used to have this implemented at the server level in the httpd.conf
file like so:
# Secure addbug form
<Directory "//sonscentral/users/adefaria/www/Internal/Release/addbug/">
AuthName "permission to add a bug"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /etc/apache/addbug_users
Require valid-user
</Directory>
However that fails to work. The user is let in without being prompted
for a username/password. I've also tried using a .htaccess file:
AuthType Basic
AuthName "permission to add a bug"
AuthUserFile /etc/apache/addbug_users
Require valid-user
With the same non-success. I had cranked up the loglevel in the hopes
that something about the failure would be written to the logs but
nothing is. How can I debug/fix this? Does Apache for Cygwin do any
authentication at all?
Apache 1.3.24; Cygwin 1.5.4
