Subdomain Is Password Protected For No Reason

[finishdish]

Hello TCH Family,

I've got a cpanel subdomain pointing to a meta re-direct file that points to a password protected directory.

 

Like this:

subdomain re-direct (https) > non-password protected directory with a meta re-direct file in it > password protected directory

 

Since the subdomain redirects using the https protocol (via the TCH ssh key url), once the user is re-directed to the password protected directory, their username and password should be submitted securely. However, for whatever reason, the server is asking for a username/password (not securely) before it will load the meta re-direct page (using ssh). Any thoughts on this?

 

Password protection is not enabled for the re-direct directory, so I'm not sure why it's asking for a login. If I enter the username/password for the password protected directory which the re-direct file points to, it then loads the re-direct file (sending my password in the clear). Then the re-direct file sends me to the password protected directory, which asks for a username and password (securly now), and allows access to the password protected directory.

 

It works, but I'm being asked for a directory login twice. Once without ssh and once with ssh. Odd. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

finishdish

I will not be of any use here but I am sure someone will be along soon to provide an answer. Hang tight.

Thanks Rob,

It's odd. That first page just won't load without the password for the directory it refreshes to. Two logins for one password protected directory.
