global auth for all sites is not disabled after deleting user

[aronwp]

when creating a new global auth user i.e "ee auth create global" it password protects all sites. deleting the new user does not deactivate the password prompt on all sites. on https://easyengine.io/commands/auth/delete/ it says use the command below but it does not work

Remove global auth on all sites (but not admin tools) with default username(easyengine) $ ee auth delete example.com --site

Error: Parameter errors: unknown --site parameter

I found a workaround by running ee global auth delete (this deletes all users and generates a new auth for ee-admin tools) after you will need to create a new auth for any site on the server i.e "ee auth create example.com" and then delete "ee auth delete example.com"

these steps remove the password prompt from all sites.

@aronwp to remove the global auth the syntax is ee auth delete global. The syntax in handbook is outdated. Thank you for noticing and reporting the issue. This will be fixed asap.

@mrrobot47 thanks but it's still not working correctly. The ee auth delete global command deletes the global auth user but the password box still appears on all sites. The only way to remove global auth from sites is after ee auth delete global need to run ee auth create example.com and then ee auth delete example.com and then the password box is removed from all sites.

Basically the ee auth delete global removes the user but not the htpasswd for global auth

@mrrobot47 This looks like a problem. Reopening this issue. Let's investigate the cause of this issue and fix it.

Since both HTTP Auth and IP Whitelisting are implemented in similar way the above problem can also occur in case of removing global ip whitelisting from the site using ee auth delete global --ip

Steps to produce the issue :-

• Ensure site specific ip whitelisting or add using below command :- ee auth create example.test --ip=1.1.1.1 (this creates example.test_acl)
• Ensure global ip whitelisting or add using below command :- ee auth create global --ip=8.8.8.8 (this creates default_acl)
• Now when we remove site specific ip whitelisting
  ee auth delete example.test --ip (updates example.test_acl)
• and then remove global ip whitelisting ee auth delete global --ip (deletes default_acl)

the global ip whitelisting is not removed from the site example.test because the site specific ip whitelisting file example.test_acl remains undeleted

Steps to produce the issue :-

• Ensure site specific ip whitelisting or add using below command :- ee auth create example.test --ip=1.1.1.1 _(this creates example.testacl)
• Ensure global ip whitelisting or add using below command :- ee auth create global --ip=8.8.8.8 _(this creates defaultacl)
• Now when we remove site specific ip whitelisting ee auth delete example.test --ip _(updates example.testacl)
• and then remove global ip whitelisting ee auth delete global --ip _(deletes defaultacl)

the global ip whitelisting is not removed from the site example.test because the site specific ip whitelisting file example.test_acl remains undeleted
