tracd fails to perform login/authentication

[daniel@…]

When I click on login, I get:

Oops...

Trac detected an internal error:

TracHTTPRequestHandler instance has no attribute 'authname'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/var/repositories/trac/scripts/tracd", line 228, in do_trac_req

I'm using [474]. I'm tunneling over SSH to talked to the port tracd is running on. I have my own htdigest file setup.

It looks like BaseHTTPServer/rfc822.py has problem parsing http headers. What browser are you using?

[daniel@…]

Using Safari. :)

[daniel@…]

A coworker on Mozilla is not getting in. (So it's not just Safari)

[jonas]

I'm unable to reproduce this with mozilla-firefox or safari.

Does this still happen with the latest version of trunk?

[daniel@…]

In the next couple of days, I'll try upgrading, and see if login start working.

[daniel@…]

Just upgraded to [540]. New Error message.

Oops...

Trac detected an internal error:

[jonas]

Did you start tracd with the "-a projenvdir,/path/to/htddigtest.file,your.realm" option?

[jonas]

Ok, closing this one now, please reopen if you can reproduce this...

Go the same issue than daniel@…:

Oops...

Trac detected an internal error:

'NoneType' object has no attribute 'do_auth'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "bin/tracd", line 235, in do_trac_req
    self.do_real_trac_req()
  File "bin/tracd", line 245, in do_real_trac_req
    self.remote_user = self.env.auth.do_auth(self)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'do_auth'

Where does self.env get assigned a auth instance ?

From top dir:

$> find . -type f -exec grep -nH do_auth {} \;
./bin/tracd:98:    def do_auth(self, req):
./bin/tracd:245:            self.remote_user = self.env.auth.do_auth(self)

It seems there is no such a do_auth method defined in trac package ...

May be a version mismatch (I'm using Trac from SVN, checked out this evening) ?

[eblotml@…]

I guess I got it:

If project in --auth [project],[htdigest_file],[realm] does not match the Trac database name,

auths.get(project, None)

in tracd returns the None object, which causes the later failure.

In other words, current implementation of tracd enforces that in

tracd --auth <project>,htdigest_file,realm <database> 

project == database

if project is not equal to database are different, Auth is null, and the tracd leaves with the reported stack trace.
