Digest authentication problem - WeOnlyDo Discussion board

Digest authentication problem (General questions)

by paul draper, Wednesday, August 10, 2005, 11:28 (7044 days ago)

Hi,

I have a test web server that can be accessed using either basic or digest authentication.

Access to the server is via a Proxy, and so I have setup the client componant to do automatic Proxy authentication.

On the client I then set the authentication type, username and password.

When the client connects using Basic authentication I see all the correct packets being sent / received for both the proxy and basic authentication, and the page is correctly displayed.

When I try the same test using Digest authentication everything seems to be going ok to begin with, the server asks for Digest authentication and the client automatically generates the correct responses. The problem occurs when the proxy demands authentication of the request with the digest information in it. The response back from the client contains the proxy authentication information, but no longer contains the digest responses.

It seems that the client is forgetting to include the digest responses in this case.

Is there something additional I need to do for digest compared to basic?

Thanks
Paul.
