not working: authentication loop

    hi, I’ve configured the plugin & it’s just in an authentication loop: challenge, enter user/pass, challenge reappears. On both ‘just admin’ and ‘whole site’ settings.

    Can you tell me whether the user & password is saved into the database (& where) or as a traditional .htpasswd file? (& where in relation to the site root) – in the latter case, there might be permissions issues with my hosting that I can resolve.

    thanks, Ash

    Hi @ashs_au

    Yes, credentials are stored in the DB. What’s your Hosting server? Maybe, there is some issue with Hosting.

    yep: quadra hosting on an AU server. These guys used to have some default http auth in place to protect against brute forcing wp-admin – which has since gone.

    But there might still be some global ‘Apache magic’ remaining on their hosting. I’ll contact their support & ask since the error log remains empty.

    Hi,
    I installed http auth within an multisite, to pretect each multisite with different users and passwords.
    Settings are to protect whole page and activated.
    I can access the usual wordpress-login without http-auth.
    If I want to open frontend, http-auth occurs, but its not possible to enter the page, after sending passwort the http-login-form is back again.
    Does the plugin works in multisite?

    thanks,
    Rudi

    @rudolffiedler I hope that it works with multisite BUT never tested it with multisite.
