password authentication not working

[ericvaandering]

Original Savannah ticket 93313 reported by None on Mon Apr 2 23:14:46 2012.

... because phedex does not work with Firefox 11.0, nor does it work with Safari 5.1.2

This is basically bringing my ability to do data distribution to a grinding halt.

For Safari, the issue is that I log in with HN passwd because I don't have credentials in safari in my browser. And the phedex interface is simply not working at all with passwd login as best as I can tell.

For firefox it simply ain't working period.

Is this ever going to get fixed? It's been broken for a couple months. Sorry if I sound annoyed. I am annoyed.

Any suggestions for where I can get a browser that works with phedex?

thanks, frank

Dear Frank,

the first issue - PhEDEx web not working with Firefox 11.0 - was solved in the latest release. Please let us know if this is not the case.

concerning the second issue - PhEDEx web does not accept HN password authentication with Safari 5.1.2 on MacOS - could you provide more details?

1) Do you still see the issue in the current website release?

2) Which page are you trying to access? I suppose it is this page, since it the only page where password authentication is supported: https://cmsweb.cern.ch/phedex/prod/Request::Create

3) What error message do you get?

4) After you enter your HN password, what do you see in the top-right corner of the page? It should show your name, roles and "Logged in via Password"

Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience

Cheers Nicolo'

Hi,

closing since password authentication was permanently disabled for all cmsweb services.
