Can't Get Past Webconf Login Screen

TaeYongK · April 7, 2021, 8:12am

Yes, cleared cookies and caches for all.

wyleu · April 7, 2021, 8:14am

Can you login using ssh?

TaeYongK · April 7, 2021, 8:19am

I will try tonight with ssh:
ssh root@Zynthian.local
password: raspberry

jofemodo · April 7, 2021, 8:48am

As i told, the bug is also connection-related. How are you connecting your zynthian?

Regards

TaeYongK · April 7, 2021, 8:57am

With an ethernet cable from the Raspberry pi 4 to the Mac

le51 · April 7, 2021, 12:13pm

Hi. A couple of years ago a twisted pair RJ45 cable was needed to connect directly two computers. But I don’t know if it still accurate.

Can’t you try to connect zynthian to a kind of router and not directly from computer to computer ?

ToFF · April 7, 2021, 3:43pm

or use small switch…

Baggypants · April 8, 2021, 9:41am

Auto MDI-X is considered standard a of 1000Base-T and is pretty well supported these days.

riban · April 8, 2021, 10:10am

But does MacOS act as a DHCP server or handle other mechanism for accessing Zynthian via IP without e.g. using APIPA?

riban · April 8, 2021, 10:19am

Have you set a static IP on either the Mac or the Raspberry Pi?

Please check what IP address each has when directly connected together.

wyleu · April 8, 2021, 10:35am

Did you manage to get ssh access?

TaeYongK · April 8, 2021, 5:59pm

Hi there

So, I took the time to solve the issue

1/ I am connected with an ethernet cable from Mac to Pi with a static IP set manually.

2/ I did connect via ssh (& set the date)
Screen Shot 4

3/ I’ve been reading the Wiki > Command Line User Guide - ZynthianWiki
Very helpful to understand and tried different command lines especially this one

systemctl stop zynthian-webconf
systemctl start zynthian-webconf

4/ I tried to connect via Safari browser…
And it worked!

Thank you all for you replies and advices!
Great community here

wyleu · April 8, 2021, 6:06pm

Leaving but one simple issue . . .

Stupps · July 23, 2021, 7:31am

Yyyyeees! Setting correct date did it.

Thanks for that hint!

schrectacular · September 10, 2021, 10:41pm

Faced the same problem today, but ssh’ing in and setting the date fixed the issue. I grabbed a log for you as per earlier request.

You can tell you got the password right because it doesn’t give the “Incorrect Password” error. I hadn’t used my zynthian in a while. Had the issue. Reinstalled brand new image, same issue. Found this thread, saw that people have the same issue, set the date with:

date -s '2021-09-10 18:34:00'

and hey presto! She works. Hope this helps chase the ghost in the machine.

jwoillez · November 29, 2022, 4:37pm

Just a small observation that I have the same issue when trying to access through the WiFi Hotspot. Connecting to ethernet did not help. Things started to work only when turning off the WiFi Hotspot.

Doug · November 30, 2022, 12:38am

I’m new to this myself but from the comments above it seems to me that to log in from the web interface the Pi’s clock must be set to the current time within some tolerance. Pis do not have a battery backed real time clock but sets the time from the wider internet (ntp) at each boot. It must ‘see’ the www to be able to do this.
So Pi needs to have access to the www to set its time before access to the web interface is possible, or alternatively use an ssh login to manually set the time. As a hotspot the Pi does not see the www.

jofemodo · November 30, 2022, 3:55pm

Are you accessing via http or https?
Also, you should try to update your zynthian because there are some changes that could fix the problem.
Note: don’t miss to use ctrl+F5 to totally reload the webconf

Regards,

jwoillez · January 15, 2023, 7:01pm

Feels like @Doug is spot on. I can only log into webconf when the zynthian clock is no more than ~30 days behind current time. This seems to be related to the following found at https://www.tornadoweb.org/en/stable/guide/security.html:

By default, Tornado’s secure cookies expire after 30 days. To change this, use the expires_days keyword argument to set_secure_cookie and the max_age_days argument to get_secure_cookie . These two values are passed separately so that you may e.g. have a cookie that is valid for 30 days for most purposes, but for certain sensitive actions (such as changing billing information) you use a smaller max_age_days when reading the cookie.

If I set expires_days and max_age_days to 365, the cutoff for not being able to login becomes zynthian clock behind current by 365 days.

Maybe we could use datetimectl to check if we are NTP synchronised. When not, increasing expires_days and max_age_days should make login possible. Got to figure out what the clock is at on first boot of a fresh image, to cover all cases…

riban · January 15, 2023, 11:31pm

That’s good research. We should probably set the expiry a few years beyond the image build date. @jofemodo maybe this could be scripted in the build process?
