Unable to login authenticated mode

Using 1.21.4, reinstalled after failed upgrade to 1.22.0. Uninstalled all 1.22.0 files I could locate.

1.21.4 ran well prior to upgrade. During install from binary, database zm/users was not populated with admin:admin user. Manually added both admin:admin and rob:password to zm/users database. Stop/Start zmpkg.pl. Cannot log in to Zoneminder after making these changes.

I am typing the password directly into the password field in the users database.

Copy and paste from Webmin interface to zm/users table below:

admin admin en_gb 1 View Edit Edit Edit Edit Low Camera1

Help Please... Rob

i dont know how to fix that but if you need to get in you could turn off auth mode temorarily from webmin

James

Been turning it on and off using zmconfig.pl, but that is not how I wanted to use this package.

Thanks... Rob

The password in the DB is not the raw password. You need to set it as follows

Code: Select all

update Users set Password = password( "admin" ) where...

rather than just Password = "admin".

Thanks... now I know.

I ended up going in the backdoor. I finally got admin/admin up, but without system privilidges, so I couldn't add additional users.

Since I could get to the DB through Webmin, I copy/pasted the admin coded password to user "rob" and gave myself all privildges. Update Options from ZoneMinder and I'm up and running again... finally.

Excellent program... there needs to be a "ZoneMinder for Dummies" text.
