Hi @sigoden

Problem

If I start dufs with the configuration below (both public and auth access), when I am in the public section the button to log in does not work (clicking it does not happen).
I expect the auth login form to appear so I can enter my credentials to access the root.

Configuration

The build was done directly by the master at the commit f8b69f4

mybuild/dufs:master-f8b69f4 \
    /data -A \
    -a test:test@/:rw \
    -a @/public:rw

Environment Information

Dufs version: f8b69f4 master
Browser/Webdav info: Chrome/Firefox
OS info: Mint Cinnamon 22.1

That's how it was designed. we don't think there's anything wrong with it.

Hi @sigoden

Thanks for the reply

Can you explain better?

I have in the root / (test:test@/) three folders:

public (@/public)
myprivate_files
other

When I access dufs: (localhost:5000) I see in the root only the /public folder and it's ok.. To see the other two folders I should log in.

How can I log in directly from the dufs interface if I'm in the public section?

As I was telling you, when I click on the button at the top left nothing happens.

@manprint

dufs webui relies on basic auth (the browser's built-in authentication mechanism).

Therefore, its authentication just checks if the user has permission.
f8b69f4df8/assets/index.js (L753-L762)

It can only be designed this way.
