IE5 should support the digest auth-scheme (as written in the docs). I made two user-password-files (users.digest and users.basic with htdigest.exe/htpasswd.exe) When I use: AuthType Basic AuthName "xxx" AuthUserFile d:/3dx/users.basic Require valid-user everything works fine with IE5.5 and Navigator. IE5.5 and Navigator will both ask for username and password and if they are correct, Apache will let me in. I used the URL http://127.0.0.1/admin/test.htm, for example. But when I use instead: AuthType Digest AuthName "xxx" AuthDigestFile d:/3dx/users.digest Require valid-user I can't login with Navigator - ok, that's normal because Navigator doesn't support Digest. (Navigator asks me nevertheless for username/password and the apache-error-log tells me correctly "client used wrong authentication scheme: ...") BUT: when calling the same page with IE5.5, I will get an "The page cannot be displayed (cannot find server)"-error! There is no entry in the Apache error-log for this call! I can call any page outside the /admin/-directory with IE5.5 but I will get the error when calling any file IN the directory (when using the Digest-scheme instead of the Basic-scheme). A snippet from my httpd.conf: #LoadModule digest_auth_module modules/ApacheModuleAuthDigest.dll #LoadModule cern_meta_module modules/ApacheModuleCERNMeta.dll LoadModule digest_module modules/ApacheModuleDigest.dll I'm wondering if I have to enable the first line? But there is no ApacheModuleAuthDigest.dll in the Apache1.3.14-distribution!? What must I do to fix this problem?

I used the release apache_1_3_14_win32.exe not ...win32_r2.exe - I think this will solve the problem. ... swift@mindless.com >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, you need] [to include in the Cc line and make sure the] [subject line starts with the report component and number, with ] [or without any 'Re:' prefixes (such as "general/1098:" or ] ["Re: general/1098:").
