I am having trouble with Apache:AuthCookieDBI. I hope someone here can help because I have not been able to find a solution despite extensive searching.
Config overview: RH 7.3 Apache/1.3.23 (Unix) (Red-Hat/Linux) mod_perl 1.26 Apache::AuthCookieDBI-1.19 I can bring up the login form provided with the module, but it always returns the login-failed form and I am not sure why. The log file returns: [Thu Oct 10 15:28:27 2002] [error] access to /LOGIN failed for sdn-ar-019casfrmp184.dialsprint.net, reason: Apache::AuthCookieDBI: didn't have the secret key for auth realm dev2 [Thu Oct 10 15:28:28 2002] [error] access to /signmanage/ failed for sdn-ar-019casfrmp184.dialsprint.net, reason: Apache::AuthCookieDBI: didn't the secret key from for auth realm dev2 I see in the documentation at http://search.cpan.org/author/CROMIS/Apache-AuthCookieDBI-1.19/AuthCookieDBI.pm that heat secret key needs to be listed in the httpd.conf before the PerlModule, which I believe I am doing (see below). Other than that, I can't find any additional tips. This guy seemed to have a similar issue, but his SecretKey line was in the wrong place it appears: http://groups.google.com/groups?q=%22secret+key+from%22+%22for+auth+realm%22&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&selm=76cfba01.0202221058.3b319bdb%40posting.google.com&rnum=1 Below is the relevant part of my config. Thanks for your help!
