Same here. I was testing, and some of my users could not log in. I wanted to see if it was an IP address issue, or am authentication issue, so I turned off authentication using the insecure switch in the system preferences, under "Administration." Although it says something to the effect of "Do not switch this off on a production system," I figured it would be OK on my test machine, and I could immediately switch back. I did not realize that it would completely deactivate the login system, and deactivate it permanently. As a non-logged in user, I don't seem to have the privileges to restart login security, and even manually changing the insecure flag in the data field does not correct the issue. I think it's a bug, and it is crippling, so take the advice on this radio button seriously - once changed you lose control of your system, and it is wide open for attack! -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Koha-insecure-off-tp4305490p4528657.html Sent from the Koha - Discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
We did get it working again by restoring the database to an earlier copy. Of course that meant re-updating, and re-indexing, so it took a while. Upon restarting the Koha staff client we did get a login screen (Hurray!), and we were able to log in under our regular password. However in the System Preferences the insecure setting was still flagged to "Allow staff to access the staff client without logging in," indicating that the change had propagated beyond the Koha MySQL database. I reset the "insecure" setting to "Do not Allow" (that's 3.2 - in 3.0 it is a "No" radio button). Because insecure mode does not allow a log in, you cannot specify a library, add patrons or add items, so I don't see any value in this setting for Koha, and I hope it is removed in the future. -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Koha-insecure-off-tp4305490p4542707.html Sent from the Koha - Discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
