We had a user who had this same issue on ubuntu 9.04 server.  Api-m soap
calls were getting unauthorized errors until he commented out the ipv6
stuff in his hosts file.  

Has anyone else had this problem?  Does it affect the new rest api or
is it soap calls only?  Is there another way around this?

This is with xacml enforcement on.  He changed the log level to debug
and we could see that the user was authenticated and had the appropriate
roles.

Thanks,
Paul

Hi,

I was getting "401 Unauthorized" errors when trying to use API-M on my 

local Fedora 3.2 install after upgrading to Mac OS X 10.6.  I  
struggled with global XACML policies and tried to see if I had changed 

anything but couldn't see anything that might be the culprit.

Just before I was going to zap my local Fedora install I had a thought 

that it might have to do with the usual API-M restriction to being  
called from localhost.  I looked in my /etc/hosts folder and saw new  
entries:

127.0.0.1       localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1             localhost
fe80::1%lo0    localhost

Commenting out the last 2 lines and restarting Fedora solved the  
problem I was having.

BUT:

This is how Snow Leopard comes by default, so anyone installing Fedora 

on the Mac platform is now going to face this problem if they try to  
use API-M.

So I think it's now necessary to find a solution in Fedora itself for 

this IPv6 localhost issue, since it was mostly a stroke of luck that I 

thought to look in the right place.  What do other people think?

Cheers,
