Hmm I was able to workaround this with a session variable:
if session[:username].nil? then
authenticate_or_request_with_http_basic do |username,password|
kerby_auth = Kerberos::Krb5.new
authenticated = kerby_auth.get_init_creds_password(username
+REALM, password)
session[:username]=username
authenticated
end
else
true
end
I'm still not sure why the problem occurred though. It does appear
that basic authentication
does not work with nested scaffolds.
