診断
Diagnostic Steps
- Verify that the user can login to the web interface of Stash.
原因
This error can have multiple causes which are outlined below.
Cause #1
There is an Apache proxy server in front of Stash that is removing the authorization header information as the request is passed to Stash. This is caused by the RequestHeader unset Authorization
configuration being set.
Cause #2
The user has been locked out of Stash because of too many incorrect login attempts.
ソリューション
ソリューション #1
Remove the RequestHeader unset Authorization
configuration from Apache and restart the proxy server.
ソリューション #2
Check that the user can login to the web interface of Stash and answer the CAPTCHA if prompted.
