Very Computer

I'm trying to configure my server to use authorization for the first time
for some pages, but all versions of Netscape, as well as Mosaic for Windows
get "Authorization failed, retry" message.

I recompiled the 3.0 server this morning for my NCR (AT&T) Unix platform.  It
compiled cleanly.  I started the server in verbose error logging mode and got
these messages:

............ End of group file dump
Basic....... username: test
Matching.... username "test" agains pwrec "test:XS9pGUXVZ7ciw"
Passwd...... Matching encrypted "XSAGHg5ifgw3c" with "XS9pGUXVZ7ciw" =>
-INCORRECT-
INCORRECT... password for test

My httpd.conf file looks like this for the security part:

Protect /private/*      {
        UserID          httpd
        GroupId         www
        ServerId        MyAuth
        AuthType        Basic
        PasswordFile    /etc/httpd.users
        GroupFile       /etc/httpd.groups
        Get-Mask        group, user
 }

The userid/password inserted into /etc/httpd.users using htadm is test/test.

The URL for the page in question is:
http://netserver.harrahs.com/private/hello.html
and it can be hit from anywhere.

Any information that would help me find out the answer would be appreciated.

Hello Jim,

try a seperate file. The line in /etc/httpd.conf should be

Protect /path/to/your/page     /path/to/config_file

A sample configuration-file and other information about this question is
shown at

Hope that helps
