[xwiki-users] Can't log on in Internet Explorer
I have XWiki 1.6.1.13621 installed on Tomcat 6.0.18. I am having some problems logging in when using IE 7. I'm putting in what I know is a valid username and password, but after submitting the login form I am brought back to the login screen. I found a closed issue in Jira that may be the same problem I'm running into (http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-2211). I have never had a problem with Firefox or Safari, only IE. Something to add to the mix though is that I was able to login with IE from within the LAN where XWiki is installed using my work laptop. If I try to login with IE on the same laptop, but across the Internet, the login fails. Does anyone have any insight into this problem? -- Nick Watts blog: thewonggei.wordpress.com
Any cookie restrictions setup on the IE options? -----Original Message----- From: users-bounces@xwiki.org [mailto:users-bounces@xwiki.org] On Behalf Of Nick Watts Sent: 19 December 2008 12:15 To: XWiki Users Subject: [xwiki-users] Can't log on in Internet Explorer I have XWiki 1.6.1.13621 installed on Tomcat 6.0.18.

In xwiki.cfg, have you specified the login name name (bind_dn) as domainusername (in xwiki.cfg it would be domain\{0})? Firefox can authentificate using only username, but IE needs to specify domain also. Quoting Nick Watts : I have XWiki 1.6.1.13621 installed on Tomcat 6.0.18.

This is most likely a cookie problem. Try cleaning cookies first, and see if you can login afterwards. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/
I tried cleaning out my cookies and the problem persisted. I also tried adding my site to my list of trusted sites which didn't work either. I even took the security all the way to low for trusted sites with no change. On Fri, Dec 19, 2008 at 9:03 AM, Sergiu Dumitriu <sergiu@xwiki.com> wrote:

I think I finally found the problem, even though I haven't resolved it yet. I don't think the problem is XWiki. I am using the free service that www.no-ip.com offers. I'm using their services to map a domain name to a dynamic IP address. My real domain name forwards to the no-ip domain name. Somewhere along that trail the cookie is getting dropped (if that's the right term here). If I go to my site with the real IP address the login works fine. Even though this isn't a problem with XWiki, has anyone else experienced this problem by chance? On Fri, Dec 19, 2008 at 10:10 AM, Nick Watts <nick.a.watts@gmail.com> wrote:
