Keeps asking for authentication
« on: August 18, 2007, 05:53:36 AM »
Hi,

I want to run roundcube on my webserver in a directory which is password protected by means of digest authentication and uses ssl to encrypt the data send to the client.

Somehow I can't log in, apache keeps asking me to authenticate my self, this is probably due to the fact that roundcube uses AJAX.

is there a way to solve this? I only want to enter my password once for the login page. I would like to stay in this secure (https) area, so that nobody can read my mail. I'm not a htaccess expert, so any help is welcome.

You don't want to use htaccess. It's really meant for pages that don't have authentication built in. Remove that and you should be fine. Using SSL/https will stop people from sniffing your mail.
