Http auth

Hi I have installed Sentinel 2.1 on a Nuke 7.5. All was well until i activated the HTTP auth function and now i cannot log into the admin area. It doesnt seem to accept and user name and password that has admin rights. I tried changing my god account in the nuke auth tables to a known value but to no avail.

What am I doing wrong?

Edit sorry just found the answer in the FAQ Embarassed

i must rtfm

When you upgreade to 2.1 all HTTP Auth passwords are changed to unset. If you didn't go back in and set the password then it may be blank. Try logging in without using a password on the HTTP Auth pop up.

You can also go into your database and edit your password in the nuke_nsnst_admins table.

This is really strange. I have checked the table you said and the HTTP Ayuth is set to 0 but it still asks me for a login and no matter what i try i cannot login Confused

No, on that table it is not an auth on or off setting. It is just for your username and if it is protected against Sentinel banning you.

Go to the table nuke_nsnst_config to turn off http auth.

No sorry i meant that table. I went to nuke_nsnst_config to turn off http auth and it still comes up with a login box.

As Raven would say. Clean out your cash and cookies and try again. Wink

You overlaid your .htaccess with the .htaccess that ships with Sentinel. That activates the CGI version of HTTP Auth.

Code:

Options All -Indexes


DirectoryIndex index.php index.htm index.html





# -------------------------------------------


# Start of NukeSentinel(tm) admin.php Auth


# -------------------------------------------


<Files .staccess>


  deny from all


</Files>





<Files admin.php>


   <Limit GET POST PUT>


      require valid-user


   </Limit>


   AuthName "Restricted"


   AuthType Basic


   AuthUserFile /path/to/your/.staccess


</Files>





# -------------------------------------------


# Start of NukeSentinel(tm) DENY FROM area


# -------------------------------------------

So, at this point, either replace your .htaccess or supply a username and password in the .staccess and all will be well.
