Pydio Cells with Nginx and password authentication

Pydio Cells
1

Hey there,

I’m running Pydio Cells on an vserver with ubuntu 20.04 LTS. Also I use on that server as reverse proxy nginx. Every works well. My problem is, when I activate a password authentification on the nginx, I can’t log into cells with the users. It results in the error: Unauthorized.

I made a password protection with:
auth_basic “Password Required”;
auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/.htpasswd;
in the ngnix config file.

In the log of the nginx server I found this:

Any idea for a solution of this problem? Or do you need any logs? I know its a little bit silly to make two different password protections behind each other. But it’s good for me. With this I can easy implement a fail2ban protection.

Sorry for my bad english and thank you very much for your help!

By the way, it’s awsome I used ajaxplorer about 10 years ago and found it now under a new name. Great tool.

Hello and welcome @gizmo

I believe your issue could be that, Cells comes with an embedded webserver, that might be why the authentication fails, I don’t know if it is possible to have a basic auth with the embedded webserver.

Let me ask the devs if they have any idea and i’ll come back to you.
