Re: access controls for system user folders broken...

[eyang@xxxxxxxxx (Eric Yang)]

Hi,

I have verified this is a bug in iTools 7.  We will make a patch for this problem as soon as possible.

In the mean time, you need to edit the /Library/Tenon/WebServer/Configuration/httpd.conf

and insert the following directives for each of the realm that you created:

AuthType Basic

AuthDBMAuthoritative on

AuthDBMType DB

AuthDBMUserFile /Library/Tenon/System/Configuration/users.db

AuthDBMGroupFile /Library/Tenon/System/Configuration/groups.db

Hope this helps.

regards,

Eric
