Hi Mark

I ran across an issue when using http basic_auth for the CGI stuff,  the
username was not being pasted to the CGI.

So for example, when I disabled a test, clicking on a blue icon would show:

Disabled by: unknown @ 192.168.1.1

Turns out I had to add a line:

fastcgi_param REMOTE_USER $remote_user;

To the configuration.  Hope this helps someone else. (Thanks Matt)


I still can not get the Critical Systems editor CGI to work under nginx though.


Bill
