why is fog 1.3 asking for a username and password to get to the fog menu? i cant find a setting at all to turn this off

[Wayne Workman]

Sounds like it’s set to be hidden, which does prompt for a valid web-user’s password.

Web Interface -> FOG Settings -> iPXE Boot Menu > Hide Menu

@Wayne-Workman nope it was unchecked

[Wayne Workman]

@darkxeno The screen where the password is requested, is it white or blue? Do you have to press a key combination to get to the menu? When does it ask for the password, like what was done immediately before? I need you to describe what you’re seeing.

[darkxeno]

this is what i am getting

Running Version 1.3.0-RC-37
SVN Revision: 6049

i updated yesterday

[Wayne Workman]

@darkxeno That is exactly what the hidden menu feature does.

pinging @Tom-Elliott to look at it. His Hidden Menu checkbox is unchecked, but when network booting hosts, they ask for him to press Escape to get to the fog menu and it then asks for a password, as is typical when hidden menu is turned on.

WHen did this start happening? Is this a fresh install or upgrade? Did this issue only occur from 1.3.0-RC-36 to upgrade to 1.3.0-RC-37?

Sorry a lot of questions, but from the sounds of things, this is an issue from a far earlier RC release where the schema wasn’t updating properly. We need a lot more information.

[darkxeno]

@Tom-Elliott yesterday after the upgrade and it was an upgrade

[darkxeno]

@Tom-Elliott this came from upgrading from 1.2

[Tom Elliott]

What is output if you go:

http://10.0.0.22/fog/boot/ipxe/boot.php

[darkxeno]

@Tom-Elliott 404 page not found

[Tom Elliott]

@darkxeno 10.0.0.22 is your FOG Server IP?

[darkxeno]

@darkxeno on the ipxe if i put a user name and password on the boot menu it goes to the menu but on the web browser it says it can be found

[darkxeno]

@Tom-Elliott yeah thats the ip

@darkxeno And you’re 100% sure you upgraded from 1.2.0 to 1.3.0-RC-37?

I know this sounds stupid but I installed 1.2.0 and then upgraded to 1.3.0-RC-37 and am not seeing the same issue you are. This tells me the Schema update is working properly.

So I must ask the questions here.

Maybe try removing the /var/www/fog and /var/www/html/fog directories and re-run the installer? I am not sure this will fix the issue but it would help ensure the data is in a known state.

Please I’m not questioning your capabilities but I must know what is actually happening.

[darkxeno]

@Tom-Elliott give me a few to re run it

[darkxeno]

@Tom-Elliott its still doing it
