Implementing authetication under LPAR2RRD

aharabagiu

Hi:

I'm following the procedure to implement user based authentication for LPAR2RRD on a AIX based system.
All went well, until I got to the line where it says: "...Under lpar2rrd user copy ".htaccess" file to "www" and "lpar2rrd-cgi" directories"

Where exactly is ".htaccess" file located? (I've searched to whole server and is nowhere to be found)

My bad!
I've restarted Apache and everything is just fine.

All good!

Spoke too soon: under "menu ->  LPAR2RRD -> User Management" still says:

"Apache authentication is not defined for this tool. Please follow online instructions to get it work."

but it's asking for username/password at the beginning. So, what am I missing?

have you followed this docu: http://www.lpar2rrd.com/apache_auth.htm?4.3.21

aharabagiu

Yes. To the letter.

Pavel

sorry for delay, we were finishing a new version ...

cd /home/lpar2rrd/lpar2rrd
ls -l html/.htaccess www
ls -l html/.htaccess lpar2rrd-cgi

I REALLY appologize, my mistake: under httpd.conf file I've skipped "AllowOverride AuthConfig FileInfo" under CGI-BIN section.

All set and working as expected. My apologies, one more time!
