Ronan-- Apache 1.2.6's mod_rewrite doesn't work for passing authentication headers. If you can't upgrade to Apache 1.3.3, then take a look at our *UNSUPPORTED* patch for Apache: ftp://ftp.digicool.com/pub/releases/ServerPatches/ --Paul

Hello,

I've a problem with Zope 1.0.9 (source distribution) with authentication. I'am using Apache 1.2.6 from a RedHat 5.1 distribution with the standard configuration files plus the the rewrite Rule in httpd.conf : RewriteEngine on RewriteLog /etc/httpd/logs/rewrite.log RewriteLogLevel 9 RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.*) RewriteRule ^/Zope/(.*) /home/httpd/cgi-bin/Zope.cgi/$1 [e=HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION:%1,t=application/x-httpd-cgi,l]

For testing, i've installed Zope under the /home/httpd/Zope-1.9.0-src and a link with /home/hhtpd/Zope.lnk Zope.cgi is in the cgi-bin directory

The URL //mymachine/cgi-bin/Zope.cgi gives the welcome page The URL //mymachine/cgi-bin/Zope.cgi/manage asks the superuser name and the password but it faills

The URL //mymachine/Zope/manage asks the superuser name and the password but it faills. The log for the rewrite rule seems to be correct (and it works...)

httpd runs as nobody. access file is owned by nobody with read and write access. ls-l var gives : total 26 -rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody nobody 10780 Dec 30 17:22 Data.bbb -rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody nobody 7789 Dec 30 17:11 Data.bbb.in -rw-r--r-- 1 nobody nobody 9 Dec 30 17:22 Data.bbb.trans drwxrwxrwx 3 nobody nobody 1024 Dec 30 17:21 gadfly -rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody nobody 3135 Dec 30 17:21 pcgi.log -rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody nobody 4 Dec 30 17:22 pcgi.pid srwxrwxrwx 1 nobody nobody 0 Dec 30 17:22 pcgi.soc

ls -l access gives : -rwxrw-rw- 1 nobody nobody 16 Dec 30 18:12 access

Thank you
