Bumping this. I am on a resller account with United Hosting. I cannot seem to resolve this problem with the RSS Feeds not working in the admin panel due to repeated prompts to enter the username and password do nothing but bring the prompt back up and canceling the prompt returns the 401 error.
I have cloned the magento install on a local XAMPP windows install and it works perfect buy my reseller hosting does not. Any help would be great.
same problem here. Works fine on my xp machine; using wampserver. Doesnt work on fastcgi windows server 2003 live version. cgi.rfc2616_headers was set to 0 by default
I am experiencing the same issue. I installed new 1.3.1.1 upgrades no help still asking for user name and password. I tried changing DB password to my Magento admin password. Everything went down. All I got was this scary line.:
> SQLSTATE[28000] [1045] Access denied for user ‘noname’@’look.dreamhost.com’
> (using password: YES)
and Magento’s trace stack.
Changed it back to original password. Everything’s back to normal. Has anybody experienced the username, password issue that has not changed their admin password since original install? I’m thinking it has something to do with the way Magento is dealing with new passwords?
I ran into this problem on IIS6. By default IIS6 configures directory security with both anonymous access and Integrated Windows Authentication selected.
The problem is that iis pops up an integrated login box before the Magento login. I believe this is to allow for AD integrated logins.
To fix this go to the properties sheet for the site, on the directory security tab select Edit in Authetication and Access control. In hte Authentication methods property sheet untick all of the authenticated access options so that Enable anonymous access is the only control. OK back through all the dialogs. Next time you log in you will only see the second login form which will accept the Magento credentials.
To check for this
Cancel the login box, if another appears with slightly different text, you have this problem.
or - enter your windows credentials in first box.
Has anyone solved this problem on Apache shared hosting environments?
I’m suffering from it as we speak - it feels like a mod_rewrite related issue, any clues or debugging suggestions would be most welcome!

Anyone work out why this is occurring I have same issue on Apache shared hosting linux.
Its something to do with the way the hosting company runs PHP as a cgi, the http_authentication server variable doesn’t get created by default in a PHP CGI configuration, but running PHP as an Apache module it does.
The standard .htaccess file that ships with Magento has a commonly used workaround for this, but in some server configurations that workaround doesn’t work.
I still haven’t been able to find a workaround that does!
We found our environment was restricting which environment variables made it to the php cgi binary (shared hosting environment). As a result, this workaround to store the authorization information as a HTTP param worked:
UPDATE: I swear the above worked last night. I returned today and the above rewrite fails for requests for just the domain & for some reason the environment vars was no longer getting set. I reverted to the $_GET method. Major fail. I should never have posted so quickly :-(
