Auth info

RT Developers
1

Hi,

The check box for

“Send authentication info to all scripts on this server.”

is missing in RT2 development version. I find that the login box is
prompted whenever I click on a link. Will the check box be back on the
index screen soon? Thanks.

It shouldn’t be necesary with RT2.

What browser are you using (exact version) and what exact URL is your
RT server running on?

I suspect that the apache::session cache directory is not writable by your
apache user. Quit and restart your browser and turn on ‘notify me of cookies’
and tell me what RT sends for a cookie.

Jesse,

Thanks for replying.

I am using Netscape Communicator 4.76 on redhat7.1. I also try it on
Internet Explore 5.5 and Netscape Communicator 4.72 on windows98.

If I click on the link, I see the login box again. I can get around it by
clicking on the “back” button and click on the link again. But I have to
do it on every single link.

I am testing RT2. I unpack the distribution and put what are suggested in
the REAME to the httpd config file. I have tried different versions
since May. Now I have rt-1-3-82 installed. Right now the url is
spv.gf.gospelcom.net (10.0.0.72). You probably can’t reach it. :< Please
let me know if you need anything else. Thanks.

Ok. that’s the same problem I’ve been seeing. I suspect
that there are some extra spaces in the chown located on line 94
of webmux.pl. It’s making WebRT/sessiondata unwritable by
your apache process. I intend to take out the gratuitous chown in
the next snapshot. I also intend to have RT die screaming rather than
just lose on writing session files.On Thu, May 31, 2001 at 04:45:28PM -0400, Sherrill (Pei-chih) Verbrugge wrote:

Jesse,

When I type in spv, this is the message:

"The server spv wishes to set a cookie that will be sent only back to
itself. The name and value of the cookie are:
AF_SID=

Do you wish to allow the cookie to be set?"

I click on OK. It shows the first login page. I put in the login info.
I get in. I click on Configuration-> the login screen. I click on User
→ the login screen. There are no more cookie warnings.

Thanks,
Sherrill
