Don't pass the username/password in via the URL, just use the remote function login(username,password) instead. I've got an authn_pam module coming out soon, which will supplant the passthru module. authn_passthru is for use with Apache/HTTP basic auth only. Since we've moved to WSGI with form-based authentication, we no longer use Apache's basic auth mechanism. _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
