Hi All!
I'm stumped. I set up an MMDVM hotspot on a headless Pi Zero for a friend. I have the same hotspot. I set it up, and I never have a problem with mine. The first time I logged into the Pi-star Configuration from a browser on his home network, all was good. When I tried to log in after that, his browser said the site is "Restricted" because the site is not secure. He gets a "401 Authentication Required / nginx," and comes back to the login popup repeatedly. I did not have this issue at home when setting it up and testing it over a period of several days on my network. I brought the hotspot home, re-flashed Pi-star, and set his hotspot up again. It seemed to work fine. I took it back over to his place, and it did the same exact thing... one successful login, and then it locks you out. I tried disabling his antivirus/firewall, using three different browsers, changed browser settings, allowed http://pi-star/ in the browsers, and I tried two different computers on his network. No resolution. Other than being unable to log into Pi-star, the hotspot appears to function normally. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Locked Out After 1st successful Login
Re: Locked Out After 1st successful Login
The 401 status code comes from the web-SERVER, not the browser.
Can you SSH to the Pi-Star unit and check the log files (those for nginx in particular).
/var/log/auth.log (doesn't seem to be applicable for web server rejection, but should show SSH login)
/var/log/nginx/error.log
After deliberately using the incorrect password to connect to the admin page (twice)...
Code: Select all
pi-star@pi-star-3b(ro):~$ cat /var/log/nginx/error.log

Thanks Dennis!
I will check this out when I get a chance. Unfortunately, that will not be very soon as my friend is now self-quarantined.
