Try logging in using the user and password from the /etc/koha.conf file (user= and pass= values in that file). Steve. On Thu, 30 Jan 2003, Hor Hen Ley wrote:

Hi there, 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? 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 -- Chris Cormack Programmer 025 500 789 Katipo Communications Ltd chris@katipo.co.nz www.katipo.co.nz

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.

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? Steve.
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:

Hi there, Yep, I think its supposed to default, to the user name and password specified in the koha.conf file. It should tell you that during installation as well. Something like this. ================== = Authentication = ================== This release of Koha has a new authentication module. If you are not already using basic authentication on your intranet, you will be required to log in to access some of the features of the intranet. You can log in using the userid and password from the /etc/koha.conf configuration file at any time. Use the "Members" module to add passwords for other accounts and set their permissions. Press the <ENTER> key to continue: If you didnt get that message thats something we will need to fix. Hope its going well now.
