plugin-manager request different user/password?

[Yingchun Li]

I have installed the plugin-manager and enable the option

plugins.allowRemoteAdmin = true

in the gerrit.config, go into the plugins page from

Plugins->manage, and the plugins will be listed.

But if I install one plugin or upgrade plugin, it will prompt 

the "user" and ''password", says:

"

http://gerrit.local is requesting your username and password. 

The site says: “Gerrit Code Review”

"

After inputting the same username and password(admin) as I login to gerrit site.

I cannot start the install or upgrade, it always ask me input the 

username and password, seems I input wrong(but I am sure I input the right words).

The gerrit-home/logs/error_log said:

"[2021-02-08T20:05:35.950+08:00] [HTTP-184] WARN  com.google.gerrit.httpd.ProjectBasicAuthFilter : Authentication from 192.168.10.221 failed for gerrit: password does not match the one stored in Gerrit"

I user the apache as front-end authentication, my gerrit version is 3.3.0

Br,

Hi,

You may be having the same issue that I had here: https://groups.google.com/g/repo-discuss/c/xxSvWk1GtRU/m/cbKYJ99FBQAJ

Thank you Josephm!

   Your post

"I figured it out. The whole /a/ directory was being protected by Gerrit. I set auth.trustContainerAuth to true and now Gerrit trusts apache. Thanks! "

   resolve my question.

   And more, you save me twice, now I can use http protocol to download my project, just

before I can only clone the project with ssh.
