Re: Requests rejected

It's not just basic auth. I have 3 production servers (2 Kerberos & 1 basic auth), and they all show similar numbers.

I was wondering the same thing about authentication. It sounds reasonable.

Thanks

Hey Justin,

This is just a guess based on my understanding of how Apache does HTTP basic auth, but there's a chance the browser isn't sending the auth details with the first request, and when the browser sends back the 401 (Indicating it needs authorization) the browser is re-submitting the request with the auth details included. This seems to match up with the response and rejected counts being extremely close in count.

If you aren't noticing anything acting odd when accessing the server through your browser, it's probably not anything to worry about.
