No login even with with AccountManagerPlugin

[thomasgrzybowski]

Hi!

I have recently installed Trac-1.4.2 on a Debian Buster server. I installed standalone Trac (tracd with no Apache2). Now I really do not want to install Apache2, as that brings in a huge amount of additional and unneccessary complexity. I did install the AccountManagerPlugin and the PermRedirectPlugin. However, no matter what I try in the trac.ini file, when I go to the initial "Welcome to Trac" screen and mouseclick upon the "login" option located on the panel, the result is a new screen showing only this:

"Trac Error Authentication information not available".

Is the AccountManagerPlugin missing this essential functionality, or is there some configuration I am missing?

BTW, When I go to the mailing list it seems to want me to log into Google Groups, but that is unacceptable to me.

Thank you, Thomas Grzybowski

trac.web.auth.loginmodule = disabled

See CookBook/AccountManagerPluginConfiguration#HtPasswdStore.

When I set "trac.web.auth.loginmodule = disabled" in the trac.ini file, the option for login disappears from the banner panel entirely.

Please share your [components] and [acct_mgr] sections. Do you wish to use HTTP or form-based login?

Please disable PermRedirectPlugin as a temporary measure until we get AccountManagerPlugin working correctly.

I tried using the password file-based parameters taken directly from CookBook/AccountManagerPluginConfiguration#HtPasswdStore.

And still the banner-panel does not offer the "login" option.

Hi,

I am going to start over, installing Trac again from scratch including only AccountManagerPlugin and with only the settings as specified in CookBook/AccountManagerPluginConfiguration#HtPasswdStore.

I will let you know what I see.

[Ryan J Ollos]

Which version of TracAccountManager did you install?

I suggest using the dev version on PyPI, or the latest trunk:

$ pip install --pre TracAccountManager

$ pip install svn+https://trac-hacks.org/svn/accountmanagerplugin/trunk

[Ryan J Ollos]

If you are using Digest auth as your config suggests, see CookBook/AccountManagerPluginConfiguration#HtDigestStore.

You need either:

acct_mgr.web_ui.* = enabled

or

acct_mgr.web_ui.loginmodule = enabled 

[thomasgrzybowski]

Success! After installing genshi ( "pip install genshi" ) the login option works! This is fine, as I want the genshi template engine. Now I have to figure-out where I went wrong before. Maybe it has something to do with my wanting to use an md5 hash along with postgresql. Some complexities there, but I'll work them out...

You can close this now if you want.

Thanks, Thomas Grzybowski

Oh, Just to clarify, this is with the new, clean install. The older one is still broken. ;-)

Thanks again, Tom
