Description

Hi,
We have a WMS-service that is restricted (Basic auth). To let the users access the capabilities we have published the capabilities-document on an open adress.
When you connect to the service, to the open capabilities-adress, in QGIS it works fine but when you try to add a layer from the service (send a GetMap-request) QGIS chrashes. It looks like the application tries to open an athentication window but it just freezes. Any suggestion why? We have tried four different versions of QGIS and they all react in the same way

Added by Nyall Dawson almost 6 years ago

Fix hang when WMS credentials requested

Remove responsibility for credentials mutex locking from external
callers and handle appropriate locks internally. This allows the
mutex lock to be much "tighter" and avoids deadlocks when
credentials are requested while an existing credentials dialog
is being shown.

(No mutex is required protecting the credentials dialog itself
as this is ALWAYS shown in the main thread)

Fixes #20826

Added by Jürgen Fischer over 5 years ago

[needsbackport] apply an alternative fix for #20826

Partly reverts c9e761649, which removed the synchronizatiion of
credential requests (eg. in a project that has multiple layers from the
same postgresql database without credentials) and led to multiple
concurrent requests for the same credentials.

Some of which were silently discarded, when events processed in the
dialogs exec() event loop tried to reinvoke the dialog and caused
invalid layers.

Authentications caused by network requests can still cause this.

The credential cache is now guarded by a separate mutex.

#1 Updated by Alessandro Pasotti almost 6 years ago

Status changed from Open to Feedback

First: can you please check a recent version like QGIS 3.4 ?

Second: can you share the WMS address?

I've istalled QGIS 3.4 and tested the service, but QGIS reacts the same (crashes)

The url I'm testing is http://maps-ver.lantmateriet.se/capabilities/inspire/hy/wms/v1?request=getcapabilities&version=1.3.0 and i've verified that the capabilities have the correct adress for GetMap-requests by providing authentication information when connecting to the open capabilities (but it should not be necessary) and then it works like a sharm

I have several WMS services that are protected with basic http authentication (Apache as web server, QGIS Server nad Mapserver) and I can't get any crash, but in my case the GetCapabilities call is also protected. Can you share your server configuration?
