I am trying to set up a website with request for username and password which will authenticate against RedHat 6.2 /etc/passwd
logins and passwords.

I am using Apache 1.3.12 with Mod_Perl 1.21 . I compiled the
the AuthenPasswd module on the Mod_perl module. And, everytimes the error log says "bad password". The username and
password was keyed in correctly.

I was wondering if there is anything i should change in the
( httpd.conf ) that will facilitate this login process ???

Any advise...

PS:

My .htaccess file.

AuthName "Protected Site"
AuthType Basic
PerlAuthenHandler Apache::AuthenPasswd
require valid-user

are you getting any errors in the apache errorlog?

the error is saying "bad password"even when i entered the
correct username and password. It recognise wrong username too. I was wondering..the /etc/passwd contains not password
and it is kept in the /etc/shadow. Could this affect the operation ??


U tested before ??

Pls advise..
