Authentication Impossible After Installing Midgard

Applies to

SuSE Linux: Version 7.0
This article refers to an older version of SuSE Linux. Therefore some of the informations given in this article may be outdated or the article may contain stale links.

Symptom

You cannot login as root after having installed Midgard.

Cause

Midgard's configuration has been stored in a separate file, /etc/httpd/midgard/midgard.conf, containing a password directive for authentication purposes. However, the specified directory does not exist. In addition, it is not the DocumentRoot, but the file midgard-root.php3, that has to be protected in Midgard 1.2.5.

Solution

The directive is available at /etc/httpd/midgard/midgard.conf and should be modified as follows:

< Files midgard-root.php3 >
require valid-user
AuthName Midgard
AuthType Basic
< /Files >
After the correction, please pay attention to SuSEconfig.midgard, since this script overwrites your modifications. If you are working on a network with proxy support and you cannot view Midgard's start pages, disable the manual proxy configuration in your browser.
