Multiple independent projects with separate htpasswd files not working for me

[BillChappell]

I just installed trac for the first time, so I may well have missed something in my configuration, but here is where I am:

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, apache2 installed using apt-get, trac installed

1. sudo –H pip install - -upgrade pip
2. sudo –H pip install - -upgrade Genshi
3. sudo –H pip install - -upgrade setuptools
4. sudo –H pip install trac

used mod_python

Installed AccountManager using HtPasswd as per here ​https://pypi.python.org/pypi/TracAccountManager

I have 3 independent projects each with own htpasswd file

My experience is that I can only enable Account Manager for one project at a time, including that other projects cannot even have AccountManager egg in /var/trac/<project>/plugins and the egg-cache as well as removing Account Manager entries from trac.ini. Otherwise, the enabled/disabled state of trac.web.auth.loginmodule carries from one project to the other and I lose the ability to login to either the project with Account Manager or the other 2.

trac.ini for project with Account Manager:

[account-manager]
account_changes_notify_addresses = chappewr@critical.com
allow_delete_account = false
htpasswd_file = /var/trac/TEST/test.htpasswd
htpasswd_hash_type = md5
notify_actions = new,change,delete
password_store = HtPasswdStore
[components]
acct_mgr.htfile.htdigeststore = enabled
acct_mgr.web_ui.accountmodule = enabled
trac.web.auth.loginmodule = disabled

I copied and pasted htfile as htpasswdstore from trac install instructions, but it appears as htdigeststore (and works).

trac.ini for other projects only has:

[components]
trac.web.auth.loginmodule = enabled

Please tell me what I am doing wrong or if what I am trying to do is a new feature request. Thanks.

Script I found on perlmonks and modified as work-around

[BillChappell]

Because authentication method I am using actually belongs to Apache, not Trac, I found the following ​http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=178482, modified it to use the password file specific to the project, to get the user/user_id from the form instead of an existing login, and to work around the "sticky" CGI textfield I created by the change to user_id. Many thanks to greenFox for the original script. The user/user_id change was made necessary by my inability to make my script work from within the Trac project/Virtual Host. Hope this work-around helps someone else.

I think you have an ​InstallationIssue. I'll reply to your post ​trac-users:fePy1WvsfXA/l-uYetSKAwAJ.
