Hello,
I have a small glitch with Smb authentication in apache. Basically, if I have
a frames page in the protected directory, the server asks for the password twice.
Here is what happens. I have a directory "test" under htdocs which is protected by SMB
authentication. The index file in this directory has two frames called "left" and
"right". When I access the index file, I get the first password dialog. Then,
obsevring the traffic, I see that the browser requests the left and right frames, and
even though it sends the proper authentication string, it gets a 401 error for one of
the two frames. So I get the authentication dialog the second time.
This is not the known apache feature related to the different server names. If I
change the authentication to regular password, the problem disappears. Also, I have
apache 1.3.12 with mod_perl 1.24. When I tried the same SMB authentication on apache
1.3.9 with mod_perl 1.21, I did not run into this problem. The modules I use are
Apache-AuthenSmb-0.60 and Authen-Smb-0.91.
I have obsverved the authentication process (by inserting a printf() in AuthenSmb.pm)
and found that the web server goes to validate the password on the NT server only
once, during the first request.
Any ideas?
TIA,
Simon
