Stuck in login screen

[K3vin]

I can't seem to login to Domoticz anymore and have trouble figuring out what is going wrong?

• When I log in with the right credentials, the login page just reloads;
• When I log in with incorrect credentials, I get shown an 'invalid user/ password' notice;
• I checked the user via -nowwwpwd option and all seemed ok;
• I followed documentation to check database integrity; I found no issues;
• I followed the general 'troubleshooting' documentation, didn't make a difference;
• I tried updating to the latest version, didn't make a difference;
• Domoticz has been running for a while, before I had no issues logging in;
• I have tried 2 different browsers; same results;

I do notice that the browser complains that the connection is not secure.

On startup I see this error:

Code: Select all

Error: WebServer(SSL) startup failed on address 0.0.0.0 with port: 443: bind: Permission denied [system:13 at /usr/local/include/boost/asio/detail/reactive_socket_service.hpp:161 in function 'bind']

I have bypassed this by adding an SSL exception in the browser, could this be causing my issue?
I can't remember if I always accessed Domoticz via https or used http before.

Any ideas what to check next?

Does the Domoticz log file give any more hints, other then the SSL error?

How did you install Domoticz?

Via docker-compose or natively via the bash command script?

first make sure no other applications are running on port 443

stop domoticz

sudo service domoticz stop

check if you can't access the web gui anymore

go to the domoticz folder and launch domoticz by hand

cd domoticz
./domoticz

Have a look at the log, first try to access the normal non-ssl page on port 8080

If you say you checked '-nowwwpwd' , you can access Domoticz without issues?

If that is the case, also go to Settings->Users and change the admin password to be sure
And in Settings->Local networks you can add your local network as well so you do not need a password
(The later is not solving this issue in a correct way, you should be able to login with a username and password)

Also try within a private browser

Make sure you have no extensions installed that blocks cookies

[K3vin]

I think I installed Domoticz via bash script (this was a few years ago).

Yes, via -nowwwpwd I can access Domoticz without issues.

Accessing Domoticz via port 8080 gives the same result.
Also an incognito session doesn't change things.

When I start Domoticz via

Code: Select all

cd domoticz
./domoticz

I actually see:

Code: Select all

Status: Login successful from xxx.xxx.xxx.xx for user 'admin'

However in the browser console I see a few json calls
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xx:8080/json.htm?typ ... SunRiseSet
that return a 401 Unauthorized response.

Domoticz doesn't set any cookies. Should it?
As far as I can see there is nothing preventing Domoticz from setting cookies (no blocksers in Vivaldi & Firefox).

Whitelisting my local network does seem to work, so at least I now have temporary work around.

[waltervl]

McAfee antivirus plugin also can block Domoticz.

[gizmocuz]

Sure, Domoticz sets cookies.
If Domoticz calls a URL it has no access to, you will see the login screen. That's perfect.
Do you block cookies?

[K3vin]

No (McAfee antivirus) or cookie blocking settings or extensions in my browser(s).

I think I have found the issue though!
The time on my Rasberry pi was running behind (It was thinking it was Feb 2023).
So I guess if a cookie got set, it would have expired / be invalid to the browser.

After updating the system time I could log in again.

Thanks for the support / help!

[waltervl]

There should have been a message in the Domoticz log indicating this....

[gizmocuz]

This could indeed be the case as the cookie is valid for a certain time.

[gizmocuz]

Is it working correctly now?

Hello
I see a similar issue. Can't login with admin/domoticz via the webbrowser. However it works with an old home screen bookmark on my iPhone, but not if I try to login via Safari.

The version is:
2024-07-22 23:19:12.212 Status: Domoticz V2024.4 (c)2012-2024 GizMoCuz

I run from a Docker container on a linux instalation and tried adding the line in the docker-compose.yml file:

environment:
- DOMOTICZ_OPTIONS=-nowwwpwd

but I continue to get the login screen where admin/domoticz is rejected (via port 8080)

I also tried to login into the container and add a resetpwd’ File, but I can't login with the default admin/domoticz

Here is the startup log:

Hello,
I have the same probleme. I reseted my browser cache and my cookies but I'm still blocked on the login page.
I tried with an other smartphone : same behavior.
I cannot access my raspberry for the moment to investigate.

NB : I m in an other time zone than my server...

It could be related to changes in Domoticz password handling or Docker configurations
1. Disable password protection: Confirm the -nowwwpwd option is correctly applied in the Docker setup:

Code: Select all

environment:
  - DOMOTICZ_OPTIONS=-nowwwpwd

After making changes, restart the container with:

Code: Select all

docker-compose down && docker-compose up -d

2 Manually reset password:
Inside the container create a resetpwd file in Domoticz's working directory:

Code: Select all

touch /opt/domoticz/resetpwd

Then restart the container. Upon startup the default credentials (admin/domoticz) should work again. Make sure to delete the resetpwd file after use for security
3. Network Configuration:
Your logs show HTTP/HTTPS binding errors. Confirm the Docker network configuration allows proper binding. Check the Docker ports section in your docker-compose.yml:

Code: Select all

ports:
  - "8080:8080"
  - "443:443"

3. Domoticz Update: Verify you're on the latest version of Domoticz. Older builds might have bugs that prevent proper login. Check for updates and re-pull the image:

Code: Select all

docker pull domoticz/domoticz

If that doesnt help maybe share additional log details
