Hi,

I've been trying to implement fakebasicauth because I hate having to
authenticate on every reload using normal client certificate
authentication.

However I can't get it to work on openbsd. I've followed the directions at:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/ssl/ssl_howto.html

and it just won't work - forbidden.

So I started troubleshooting the problem using just plain basic auth and it
appears that basic auth doesn't like the "/" character.

Can someone else verify this or tell me what I am doing wrong?

============== .htaccess ================
SSLVerifyClient   require
SSLVerifyDepth   1
SSLOptions         +FakeBasicAuth
SSLRequireSSL
AuthName           "Snake Oil Authentication"
AuthType             Basic
AuthUserFile       .htpasswd
require                 valid-user
============== .htaccess ================

============== .htpasswd ================
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:xxj31ZMTZzkVA
============== .htpasswd ================

I've tried md5 passwords and the encrypted password that comes out of
htpasswd "password"  also and nothing works.

if I just do basic auth I can only get access using the following
configuration - ie remove "/":

============== .htaccess ================
#SSLVerifyClient   require
#SSLVerifyDepth   1
#SSLOptions         +FakeBasicAuth
#SSLRequireSSL
AuthName           "Snake Oil Authentication"
AuthType             Basic
AuthUserFile       .htpasswd
require                 valid-user
============== .htaccess ================

============== .htpasswd ================
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:KI5eE8rTJvs.U
# where KI5eE8rTJvs.U is the encrypted htpasswd output of "password"
============== .htpasswd ================
