Metadata entry form not compatible with Safari. #68

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
It's not possible to edit this page in Safari (the preferred browser for most 
Mac users), as the authentication doesn't work when doing so.

See my comment to XSLTForms mailing list:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=28499171

We should just need to connect the HTTP server which serves the XForm to the 
same LDAP as Fedora, and require authenticated user access to the XForm.

Tested on andsdb-dc19-dev with Safari 5 for Windows.
Edited /etc/httpd/conf.d/xforms.conf to add LDAP and htpasswd file-based Basic 
HTTP authentication. User accounts will be checked against LDAP first and then 
the /etc/httpd/.htpasswd file, to which I have added a fedoraAdmin user with 
the same password as specified in Fedora's file at 
/home/fedora-user/fedora/server/config/fedora-users.xml
Logging in as fedoraAdmin will load the form from Apache httpd, and the browser 
will then pass those credentials on automatically to Fedora when loading and 
saving.
