Databank admin page stuck on 403 Forbidden #34

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Browse to http://databank.ora.ox.ac.uk/admin
2. Enter username "admiral" and password
3. system displays "403 forbidden"
4. Browse again to http://databank.ora.ox.ac.uk/admin
5. system displays "403 forbidden", without prompting for username/password

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect to be re-prompted for a different username and password

Changed title: Databank admin page stuck on 403 Forbidden

It behaves that way because the user has been authenticated, but the user does 
not have sufficient rights and so I return a 403. Hmmm, I don't return the 
reason, which I should.

Actually, reading the status code definitions again, a 401 would be appropriate 
in this scenario. I'll make that change.
