Logging in to orthanc

I am unable to login to orthanc.

I edited the RegisteredUsers section in the config file,
but this doesn’t seem to work.

Thanks,
Aaron

Just to better understand your question: Are you using a Web browser to open the “http://localhost:8042/” page (Firefox or Chrome)? Is this Web browser running on the same host as Orthanc?

You have to set the “RemoteAccessAllowed” to “true” if you are trying to access Orthanc from a remote computer. Pay also attention to the fact that the “RegisteredUsers” section is only used when “AuthenticationEnabled” is set to “true”.

oops, I had RemoteAccessAllowed set to false ( the default).
Switching it to true allowed me to connect from another machine.

Thanks. It is working now.

Fine! FYI, RemoteAccessAllowed is set to false by default for security reasons.

Yes, that makes sense.
