    Hi,

    I set up a private website on my home server and protected it by basic authentication.

    I can see the page with no problem, but my friend cannot see the page by using the same username and password. Apache log shows that she is getting 'Password Mismatch' and 401 error.

    We confirmed the password is correct and changed it to very simple one and retried, but it didn't help. Neither typing by hands nor copy/pasting didn't work.

    Does anyone has any idea where to check the problem? Or, tell me how to see more detailed log about the authentication process? (such as supplied passwords?)

    Try using packet analyzers to figure out how the requests your browsers are sending differ.
