Login requested for every page when connected Remotely with IE/Chrome/Safari

Post by himynamesjim »

Hi,

I've just finished configuring sabnzbd running on my Windows Home Server for remote access. Unfortunately, when logging into the server remotely using any non-firefox browser, the sabnzbd username and password is requested to view the Queue and History. When navigating to any configuration link, the main white login screen is displayed. If this wasn't very clear, a picture that explains what I mean is attached.

I've tested with IE6, 7, and 8 on XP/Vista/7, Chrome 3 and 4, Safari on OS X 10.6, and MobileSafari on my iPhone. Firefox 3.5 works on every operating system I tested on.

Aggravatingly, connecting using IE8 on the server itself works perfectly.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Version: 0.4.12
OS: Windows Home Server, Power Pack 3 (Windows Server 2003 based)
Install-type: Windows installer
Skin (if applicable): Plush
Firewall Software: Windows firewall
Are you using IPV6? no
Is the issue reproducible? yes, see above.

Consider upgrading to 0.5.0 (but wait for Beta6).
It uses a different (more standard) login method.
Also it allows you to use HTTPS (albeit with a self-signed certificate).

* FIXED *
I was having the same problem, but then Updated to 0.5.0Beta on the advice of the wise inpheaux.

After upgrading to 0.5.0, delete all cookies from Plush.  In Google Chrome 4.x beta, I went to cookies, searched for the URL, and deleted all.

Refresh tab on newest Plush, and Presto, everything seems to be working now.

Thanks again inpheaux.
