Hi there I'm trying to setup the above mentioned scenario, but after a couple of days head-banging the wall, i can't make the dreaded user/password box show up. I have some users in the passwd file which I'd like to use to authenticate and authorize the access to a given url. Please accept my apologies if this is off-topic, but given what i read on Jenkins docs, i'm guessing having an apache server proxying requests to/from jenkins is a common scenario.
This is how I setup: | me | <----> 'the tubes' <----> | gateway w/ apache proxying to/from jenkins | <----> internal network <----> | jenkins | I followed this tutorial: http://code.google.com/p/mod-auth-external/wiki/ConfigApache22 , tried using the new and old syntax of configuration, and also tried the .htaccess approach, all to no avail. This is my apache conf: http://pastie.org/3800000 And this is the .htaccess file placed in '/var/www/jenkins/.htaccess' . ------------ DefineExternalAuth pwauth pipe /usr/sbin/pwauth AuthType Basic AuthName "jenkins" AuthBasicProvider external AuthExternal pwauth require valid-user ------------- Can anybody please tell what's wrong with my setup? Am I overlooking some very basic thing ? Is it possible to do what i'm trying ? TIA
