+== Troubleshooting ==
+
+=== Authentication issues while using Trac with mod_wsgi ===
+
+==== Symptom ====
+
+HTTP authentication just does not want to work. The Authorization header is passed with the HTTP request, but is seems to be lost on the way.
+
+If you set the `loglevel` to `INFO`, then you will get this entry in your `trac.log`:
+
+{{{
+Trac[filter] INFO: HTTPAuthFilter: No/bad authentication data given, returing 403
+}}}
+
+It is already in Ticket #1169. I've quoted it here, since the solution is hard to find otherwise.
+
+==== Cause ====
+
+If you're using `mod_wsgi`, authorization information is stripped before passing to the WSGI application.
+
+=== Solution ===
+
+Turn `WSGIPassAuthorization On` in your `Apache` configuration for it to work.
