Post Reply? So I’ve used user/pass authentication in Basic mode with a few sites on DH for years and thought with a new site that I’d give Digest mode a try. Setting that up within the DH panel only lets me use Basic, so I set it up manually. When I go to the protected directory, however, I get this message: “Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@mydomain.org and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error. More information about this error may be available in the server error log. Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.” Has anyone successfully got Digest authentication working? I found a features update from 2006 by DH staff saying it’d be implemented starting on that date, but I’ve had no luck. Any ideas? Thanks!
