AuthType Digest configuration failed - , reason: verification of user

[Balaji99]

Hi,

I had installed Apache 2.2 version (httpd-2.2.14) in AIX version 5.3. Installation, configuration was succesful and could even set the Basic Auth type. All the steps provided to set the password using htdigest command and created /usr/bin/apache/passwd/digest file.

But when I change the config to Digest Type, the apache sends error.

The config is as follows -

<Directory "/usr/bin/apache/htdocs">

AuthType Digest
AuthName "Private"
AuthUserFile /usr/bin/apache/passwd/digest
Require valid-user

#AuthType Basic
#AuthName "Restricted Resource"
#AuthUserFile /usr/bin/apache/passwd/passwords
#Require user bala

</Directory>

Error is -
access to / failed, reason: verification of user id '<null>' not configured

Please let me know how to rectify the error in Digest Auth type alone.

If I'm not mistaken, you need the following line inserted after AuthUserFile /usr/bin/apache/passwd/digest:

AuthGroupFile /dev/null
