Cannot Log into ntopng

JuantonJohn

Same here.
Switching browsers fixes it.

I'm seeing issues creating firewall rules saying the Alias format is not valid.

I tried Edge and it works! Very weird problem. Thank you very much for all your assistance.

Version of pfSense? Version of ntopng package? Http or https?

Or just apply the system patch that JimP has listed at least a dozen times in various "browser don't work" threads.

What are you referring to? I looked at his recent post history and didn't see anything like this.

A better search term is "chrome bug", but you need to execute your search from the base of the forum instead of within the traffic monitoring sub forum. If you execute a search within a sub forum, your search is restricted to that sub forum.

OK, had a look at the patch and it does not work on 2.3.2-p1

I have an unpatched 2.2.4 system and did the install there. Guess what, NOT A CHROME BUG!!! The LOGIN works on 2.2.4, pointing to a pfSense problme, not a chrome problem…

2.2 and 2.3 are quite different, so I wouldn't view this as an indication one way or another. It's also possible that you are experiencing a completely different problem to what others are discussing here.

Best to return to basics. Can you describe what you are seeing with 2.3.2?

I see the problem does not occur on Google Chrome 52.0.2743.116m (64-bit), so it seems it is only in the newer release of Chrome…

I am running: 53.0.2785.143 m (64-bit)

The problem I see is I get to type in the user/pass, but then both boxes turns RED and the Login box is grayed-out.

Seriously? Forgive me for trying to help people for free in my spare time. I'm such an asshole.

so it seems it is only in the newer release of Chrome…

That can't be right because you just finished saying it wasn't a Chrome bug in capital letters and everything.

Found the solution to chrome issues.

Login.lua has an error in it.

Edit /usr/local/share/ntopng/scripts/lua/login.lua

Remove the escape left of the "=" in the pattern so it matches as below:

Hope that helps.

Confirm this fix worked for me

dennypage

Good find. That looks to be the same Chrome regex parsing bug seen elsewhere. While unnecessary, there isn't anything actually wrong with the back-slash prior to the equal sign.

/usr/local/share/ntopng/scripts/lua/login.lua is part of ntopng. A bug report could be filed upstream with ntopng, but I'm not sure they would accept it. I expect that the Chrome folk will fix it faster than anyone.

Great fix! I ran into the same problem yesterday. Confirmed your fix worked for me as well after making the change.

Thank you Dear Sir
You, in my books, are not an idiot! Your answer is not only precise, but 100% spot-on.

Confirmed it works for me!
