Yes, it’s a common path.

Thank you for reporting such detailed answer!

I confirm the problem with Opera (Chromium) in this topic ^^

What is the Cockpit version in NethServer?

Because there are some bugs solved in official repository.
Example about languages + Username/Password page (in more the browser dialog problem)

23

Following official updates, the issue is not solved.

Here is an open issue: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/issues/13202

Happens on /user-settings/ port 443, too.

The issue is closed and marked as fixed since 28.04.2020, but chrome still prompts the authentication when I try to login to my NS. When using FF it doesn’t happen.
/cc @giacomo Did you see the fix?

I’m not sure if the log info would be helpful. The 401/access denied would be relevant to the user’s experience with the extra popup and the time taken to fill it out.

AFAIK we still do not have the version which resolve the issue.
Still, you can try the solution proposed by upstream:

[negotiate]
action = none

Great, it works. :+1:

After creating /etc/cockpit/cockpit.conf with the given content and restarting cockpit, Chrome does not prompt anymore.

30

So it’s hidden somewhere in the code but not in the doc :cry:

Do anyone want to open the issue and the PR for both cockpit instances?

31

Right, I forgot the user instance. It works for user settings too after adding the section to /etc/cockpit-user/cockpit/cockpit.conf.
I am going to open issue/PR later today…

Thank you Markus!!

The package is ready to be tested thanks to excellent work for @mrmarkuz!

You install it with:

yum --enablerepo=nethserver-testing update nethserver-cockpit

@SpiceDenver @flatspin @NLS @dnutan @EddieA would you give it a try?

I cannot verify this week, but since one already tested it, great.
