but then rundig stops immediately again. The username/password spelling is checked many times, what else can be wrong?
Have you tried increasing the verbosity of the output generated by htdig to see if that tells you anything useful? If not, I would try something like rundig -vvv (the more v's you add, the more verbose the output).
Douglas Davis has given me some more pointers. And I think he must be right that the problem is related to the part of our site that is located in a PHP/MySQL based CMS.
As long as I do not provide provide the username/password, htdig works well also on this part of our site (except the few pages/directories that really need authorization of course).
As soon as I provide the correct username/password (only letters/numbers) in rundig or htdig.conf htdig stops working on this part of our site - including the part that does not require authorization. To verify that htdig & authorization itsef actually works, I created a static HTML file that links to password protected PDF files and used that static page as start_url. The PDF-file was indexed normally. But not if start_url is the CMS page that normally contains the links to the PDF files.
I am not able to interpret the output from -vvv, but I can provide it if anyone cares to have a look at it.
Thanks, Jan
