by the way, i changed to nginx basic_auth and when I enter wrong credentials, it allows me endless tries. i'm was used to apache gives a 5xx page after three bad tries. i guess you could refresh that and try again in apache too, but endless tries without a error for nginx? is there a way to change this? > I have set up HTTP auth using the auth_pam module (although > I'm not sure that module is the problem - it might be nginx > problem). > > https://github.com/stogh/ngx_http_auth_pam_module/ > > All works great for a while---- > > After some time, browsers begin to prompt for authentication > over > and over again (I guess once for every image, stylesheet, > script, etc?). > Or maybe it is prompting because the credentials failed, but > I don't > think so because if I hit cancel/ESC over and over again, I > can use > the web page (I'm still authenticated), but none of the > images or > scripts have loaded. > > The logs don't show any indication of what caused the > prompts to > start showing.
