Hi all,
we have a problem with mailman on Ubuntu 10LTS. We have set a site password using mmsitepass (and before that using the Plesk interface). Mailman is referenced globally for several domains using a ScriptAlias, but when opening the admin interface (e.g. .../cgi-bin/mailman/create), mailman does not ask for a password. What else can be do to enable the site password that you have to enter before you receive any options in the mailman area?
Any help is really appreciated - thanks!
Matthias

The Mailman create page doesn't ask for the creator authentication when you go to the page. You need to enter the password in the last field on the form.

If you can visit admin pages other than the overview (e.g. .../cgi-bin/mailman/admin/LISTNAME) without authentication, you probably have a saved authentication cookie for the list in your browser.
