Authentication mode + streaming

Post by gregmac »

Got ZM setup and working great with auth turned off, so I went to turn it on, and now streaming (and stills) is broken, for both live and recorded events. Just shows up as a broken image, and if I right click and "view image", it says 500 internal server error.

with plain auth set, I get this:

access.log:

I enabled auth using the 'options' button in the web interface, and restarted zoneminder in between all changes. If I turn auth off completely, it works again.

Thanks for any suggestions..

On another thought, you don't have any strange characters in the username or password by any chance?

Actually scratch that. I can see it using auth strings. You could try changing the auth mode (Options->System->ZM_AUTH_METHOD) and see if that makes any difference.

PHP 4.3.10 (debian package). No weird auth strings. I've tried with both auth methods (hashed and plain, sorry, i called hashed "encoded" in my post) - they give different output, as I showed, but neither works. This is zm-1.21.3.

This is odd. Zmu seems to think it's being passed additional options but I can't see what they are. It may be we have to add debug to the php to see what is being invoked.

For now though you could try setting ZM_DBG_LEVEL_zmu to 9, and ZM_DBG_PRINT to 1 and then running zmu from the command line. It should emit a bit more debug about the authentication process which might help.

Solved

Solved:

I was missing libcrypt.a (from debian package libssl-dev). Only noticed while I was trying to add in --with-ffmpeg and noticed the message scroll by as a warning while running configure.

This should probably be made more prominent, as it was very easy to miss and caused some very strange symptoms.
