I upgraded to the latest webmin and it works fine. Thanks for all your help, Thanks, Matt Jamie Cameron <jca...@we...> wrote: It shouldn't matter if Webmin is running on another port .. Which version are you using there? Some older releases don't have that no_testing_cookie option.. - Jamie On Thu, 2005-10-20 at 01:48, Matt wrote: hey jamie, I did what you suggested but got the same error message.

Would it matter if my webmin was running on another port say 443. I have another machine running webmin @ 443 and it has the same problem. Am I doing something wrong?

To avoid this, add the line no_testing_cookie=1 to /etc/webmin/miniserv.conf , and then re-start Webmin. - Jamie On Wed, 2005-10-19 at 00:16, Matt wrote: I tried with Firefox and the error message was Error - No cookies Your browser does not support cookies, which are required for this web server to work in session authentication mode Again when I tried the second method, i.e just typing the IP Address in the URL without passing the username/password, getting the login screen and then typing the complete URL with username/password, it works fine. How is it that it is able to set cookies when only the IP Address is entered https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:10000 and not with the complete URL https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:10000/session_login.cgi?user=adminamp;pass=xxxxxxamp;log_account=10?

IE hides the real error message from the web server, so it is hard to see what is going wrong.. - Jamie -----Original Message----- From: Matt Subj: Re: [webmin-l] Webmin Login Help Date: Tue 18 Oct 2005 5:09 am Size: 2K To: web...@li... Thanks a lot for the help. It worked fine for me. Another question is the first time I click the link https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:10000/session_login.cgi?user=adminamp;pass=xxxxxxamp;log_account=10 , it comes up with an error saying The page cannot be displayed There is a problem with the page you are trying to reach and it cannot be displayed. But if I just give the link https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:10000 and hit enter, it shows the login page which is fine. But after that clic k the above url with the username and password it works just fine. What is the reason it doesn't work initially ? Does it need to set any cookies? Why does it work the second method. Any help or suggestion is highly appreciated.

The url is https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:10000/session_login.cgi?user=adminamp;pass=xxxxxxamp;log_account=10 Now I want to able to control which page is loaded by default depending on the value of log_account, for eg: if log_account=10, I want it to load Networking page and if log_account=20, I want it to load System page. Can I check the value of log_account or any other variable I pass? So can anyone explain how webmin's login process works and what file is executed after the login button on session_login.cgi has been clicked? You should be able to specify the page to go to after login already, by adding a URL parameter like : amp;page=/%3Fcat%3Dsystem to go to the system category. - Jamie ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Power Architecture Resource Center: Free content, downloads, discussions, and more. http://solutions.newsforge.com/ibmarch.tmpl - Forwarded by the Webmin mailing list at web...@li...
