Fossil cannot seem to handle even basic http authentication (see <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2617>) during push/ pull/sync operations. Since the usual way REMOTE_USER is set by web servers is by translating http authentication credentials (see RFC 2617 above) into REMOTE_USER, you will be SOL unless you set up some different mechanism that sets REMOTE_USER without relying on any http authentication credentials whenever you want to do push/pull/sync operations. Otherwise you will still have to maintain at least some fossil users and passwords for push/pull/sync operations which pretty much defeats the whole point of using REMOTE_USER in the first place. _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
