[JIRA] Commented: (CC-919) using basic auth makes projects in dashboard appear inactive

    [ http://jira.public.thoughtworks.org/browse/CC-919?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_19053 ] 

David Biesack commented on CC-919:
----------------------------------

Is there a workaround - some other form of auth? CC-800 may be related; I'm looking for a solution.
I did not have this problem with 2.8.1 running an a SunOS system; I installed 2.8.4 on RHEL and
all projects are marked as discontinued. I reverted the RHEL system to 2.8.1 and it still has the problem.

(These problems have been open and unaddressed for over a year. Is anyone listening?)

> when i implement basic authentication for cruisecontrol, restart cc and then go to the dashboard, all the projects are greyed out and the force build button doesn't work, but the projects keep building in the background according to schedule.
> i suspect it has something to do with ajax and basic auth

connectivity to a physical network are well understood - see how these
rules translate into the virtual world?
