My web page is asking for a user ID and password. How do I make that go away?

To fix this problem using WebFile:

  1. Login to WebFile.
  2. Open the www folder of your AFS space. 
  3. Click on Access Rights near the upper right part of the page.
  4. In the window that opens, scroll down until you see the access rights for System:Anyuser.
  5. Choose Read from the Change To pull down menu.
    Note: If System:Anyuser is not listed, add it under Add New Access Rights and give it read access.
  6. Click the check box next to Change access rights to all subdirectories within (THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!).
  7. Click the Change ACL button.
  8. Scroll down and click Close Window.

To fix this problem using an SSH session:

To correct this, login to a ssh session on darrow.cc.nd.edu Login with your NetID and password when prompted. At the % prompt, type the following command (all on one line):

find ./www -type d -exec /usr/afsws/bin/fs sa {} system:anyuser rl \;

This will set all of the folders in your www directory so that anyone can read them. If you need to set the permissions differently, please call the OIT Help Desk at 574-631-8111 for assistance.
