Hi,
I am trying to access elog through a python client (https://github.com/paulscherrerinstitute/py_elog) and found a strage strange behavior which may be related server side problem. The python script generates get/post messages via the python requests library. This works fine so far and I can view and post messages. However, if a wrong user/password is provided, the server still returns HTTP status code "200 OK", although login failed. Instead, it should return something like "401 Unauthorized". This behavior later causes problems since the python client thinks login was successful. After experimenting around I think this could be caused by a server side misconfiguration. Any ideas?
I am not sure if this imformation is important: We use LDAP as user/password provider for elog. |
