yahalimu Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Hi, I use htaccess to secure my admin. I set up username and password months ago, works as tested on IE, chrome,safari, firefox etc. I recently bought some thin clients using IE6 but it seems totally unable to accept the password from this browser. My server log file report: user usernamehere: authentication failure for "/admin": Password Mismatch I am, obviously, using a username/password combination that is known to work. SO the question is, how come it wont work when it even works on my IPAD and blackberry ? I have checked locale, keyboard and language settings, all OK. This is my htaccess file: AuthUserFile /var/www/vhosts/blahblah.co.uk/httpdocs/admin/.htpasswd AuthGroupFile /dev/null AuthName "Password Protected Area" AuthType Basic <limit GET POST> require valid-user </limit> As i said, been working fine for months. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas? I shall close this as I used my servers protected directories utility and removed the htaccess file. EXACTLY the sameresponse. Its therefore pretty much a IE6/CE issue, outside the scope of this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
