Hi Olemis, There is no problem using the RPC plugin with digest auth - or any particular other auth for that matter. The RPC plugin just uses what it gets from Trac, and if Trac can authenticate then the plugin is fine with that. The real problem is that CLIENTS generally don't support digest auth, or any other particular auth mechanism other than lowest common denominator: Basic Authentication. So something like Python xmlrpclib only supports Basic auth. However, if you were to build a custom client that provides its own authentication handlers, all should be fine. Other clients for other platforms like Java, .Net or whatever may support further mechanisms - including Digest. I don't know. But in the end it all depends on the client. If you configure a project with digest auth, you should have no problem using curl to make authenticated calls to a Trac /rpc handler. "man curl" for all details of curl options... :-) :::simon https://www.coderesort.com http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/osimons -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Users" group.
