Seems like I have the same problem, my configuration is very similar and the system is Apache/2.2.3 (Debian) mod_fastcgi/2.4.2 mod_python/3.2.10 Python/2.4.4. The error.log has "access to /tracker/login failed, reason: require directives present and no Authoritative handler."

But I get the same error just trying to access a directory using the same authentication method. This doesn't seem to be Trac's problem.

So whoever reported this bug:

• Do you have the same error message in the apache's error.log as I have?
• Does authentication work on other directories?

Just for the record, doing "a2enmod authz_user" solved my problem… Seems the debian upgrade to 2.2.3 doesn't enable all the necessary mods, so authentication breaks.

Can the original poster verify that they had the same problem with a module not enabled?

If not please check your Apache and Trac logs for any messages when you log in. Please post any log information available.

If you've resolved this problem please close this ticket as worksforme.

Hi, I got exactly the same problem with Debian unstable and I can confirm that doing a "a2enmod authz_use" as suggested on a previous comment solved the problem.

Seems this is a worksforme, as described in comment:3 and confirmed in comment:5.
