Authentication Enabled = False still asking for user/password

Google Groups archive

I am able to get into the software using localhost, but when I go to another PC and use the host name, it keeps asking for a user and password. I have tried both false and true, but it still ask. If i do enter what is below it just ask for the user/pw again and does not work.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

What does the log say when you attempt to access orthanc?

Chris,

Thanks for replying so quickly. I am trying to look at the logs folder, and its at 100k files, now up over 300k files.. Something seems to be strange there as well. Maybe I should just do a fresh install?

Thanks.

I missed the list on the last email.
Logs can proliferate if there was a problem with the configuration file. Just look for the latest one and tail it (assuming Linux) or open in notepad.

I haven't checked if it would be expected behavior in this situation
but just in case I would remove the registered users.
