Error when logging in #63

Open mophilly opened 7 years ago

When I attempt to log onto the kanban page, the log in screen requires "Mantis URL" in addition to the user name and password. I have tried several URL's, and none at all, and get this error: Error: null is not an object (evaluating 'wsdl.documentElement')

The wsdl file is present in the MantisBT installation and the kanban directory is at the root level with the rest of the MantisBT files.

What is the purpose of the entry field Mantis URL? What does a valid input look like there? What is the error message attempting to tell me?

The url in that box should point to the mantisconnect API url.

For example: https://example.com/api/soap/mantisconnect.php

Thank you. Entering the pathname for the mantisconnect.php file worked. However, it raises a question. What is the reason for requiring the URL in the login?

Asking the end user to enter a long URL each time they log onto the system seems unfriendly. That piece of information is better stored in the configuration file. The config.js requires the URL as well as a "server name". Are these not the same URL?
