Restriced access??

Posted: Wed May 04, 2005 12:23 pm

I've just installed Sentinel and all seemed to be good until I tried to check the sentinel admin and it asked for a login and password to "Restricted" of which I assumed that the admin login was relevent and yet it doesn't work?

How can I find out what the user/pass should be (Is it stored in the database?).

Did you add code into your .htaccess file like:

Code:

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


# 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


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

If you did you need to remove it until you have CGI Auth completed in the NukeSentinel AuthAdmin section.

I removed the code (seems it already came with it in the file) and everything seems ok, but now I don't get the popup box with password on trying to access the admin area?

Do I need to readd the code?

OK, I've tried adding the following code;

Code:

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


# 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 by NukeSentinel(tm)"


AuthType Basic


AuthUserFile /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/blindfool.me.uk/httpdocs/.staccess


</Files>


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


# End of NukeSentinel(tm) admin.php Auth


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

to the .htaccess file and the popup with the user/pass is now appearing again, however as before it won't recoginise my username and password.

I've set the adminauth to Admin CGIAuth with no changes, I've also set my admin with a password but to no avail...

Please help, I think I'm going mad here

Goto admin.php?op=ABAuthList on your site. There you set the passwords used SOLELY with NukeSentinel security. These ARE NOT the same as your nuke admin login. Once you set them for all admins you will then have a link to write the data to your .staccess file (MUST be CHMOD 666). Once those are written to the file you can then add the code to your htaccess file.
