Try logging in using the user and password from the /etc/koha.conf file (user= and pass= values in that file).

When you installed koha you should have been asked Would you like to use Apache's Basic Authentication instead (Y/[N]):

Did you answer Yes here?

I'm pretty certain he answered 'No' as the page he gave a link to is the cookie authentication login screen which should not show up if basic authentication is being used. Steve.

If so There should be a section in your Apache config that looks a bit like this <Directory /where/the/intranet/htdocs/are> AuthUserFile /etc/kohaintranet.pass AuthType Basic AuthName "Koha Intranet (for librarians only)" Require valid-user </Directory>

In which case you will need to use the username and password you specified in this section of the installer.

Hope this is some help

Chris

Hi Chris and Steve, chris was rite about the installation fork which i chose early, i used the cookie based authentication. However there was no hint as to the default user and password to be used for the initial login. I have done a reinstallation since and have chosen the apache basic authentication. and things seems to be working fine so far : ) But surely the installation process should inform us as to the initial user/pass to login to koha intranet rite, if we have chosen the cookie based auth ? At any rate i wish too thank you folks and the open source movement. rgds henley On Wed, Jan 29, 2003 at 10:04:39PM -0800, Tonnesen Steve wrote:

Yes. It is the new cookie-based authentication scheme for Koha. The user/password pair in /etc/koha.conf is always enabled by default as a super librarian (has access to everything). What happens when you enter this user/pass pair into the login screen?
