Getting a 401 Unauthorised error when pressing submit on Login Form

[noelfraser]

I’ve created a login for following the steps in the documentation. Unauthorised works fine but when I try to login user confirmed user details contained within my “user” database table nothing happens.
I’ve tried debugging in Chrome/dev tools and there is an error line (see attached grab) - can anyone suggest a cure please?

Debugging Problems

You can easily debug issues related to server-side processing such as - form not sending email, record not inserting or updating, query not showing data etc. The first thing you need to do is to open the server connect settings: [image] And enable the Debug Mode: [image] Click Save: [image] In your browser, open the Developer tools. If you don’t know how to open them please refer to your browser’s documentation. Then open the Network tab(1) and select XHR(2): [image] Now with the develo…

I’ve followed the instructions to the letter and noticed that when I select the form and click the button to make it a server connect form the name of the form doesn’t change to server connect form 1 as it does in the documentation (see attached video).

I’ve also attached a video showing the results of my debut.Screen Recording 2019-05-22 at 11.43.26.mov (12.2 MB)

Yes, there is a sync problem with the app connect screen at times but don’t worry, if you check the coder view the form has been changed to a server connect form, it’s just a window sync issue in the current beta release @george tagged for your info re bug

[Hyperbytes]

Also you missed the dot between www and google.com, you entered http://wwwgoogle.com

Not entirely sure what you are trying to show here and where in the video, can you explain please

[Hyperbytes]

If you follow the instructions about debugging above you will get more proper diagnostic information, please do that

Thanks

I just put google in to show that authentication success takes me to a different page. I’ve put another URL in that directs to my app index page.
The problem is that when I enter credentials that do exist in the database I get the “unauthorised” message instead of the redirected page.
I will go through the debug tutorial and post more information.

Please post a screenshot of the error in the response of XHR tab exactly as shown in the tutorial…

I contacted my isp to see if there were any settings on my account that might be causing a problem and I got this message which may be useful:

Hello Noel,

The credentials provided trigger a 401 due to being incorrect. Furthermore, there appear to be some syntax issues with your login script that might hinder the ability for a user to authenticate:

Code:

Error: “Lexer Error: Unexpected token ‘W’ at column 17 in expression [browser1.alert(”“Wrong User Details”)]"

I would advise revising your code and adjusting it. There appear to be foreign and white-space characters in the following file:

Code:

/home/noelfras/public_html/bandsuite.net/dmxConnect/api/data/security/login.php

[Teodor]

Please click the server action with the error and open RESPONSE (just as in the tutorial please).
We need this:

[noelfraser]

I’ve done this and posted the 2 screenshots in an earlier reply - I’ve also copy and pasted the header content into a reply to make it easier to read

[noelfraser]

[Teodor]

No you have not done this, You need to click on PREVIEW or RESPONSE to see the exact error message. This is pretty well explained in our tutorial and i really thought it’s as detailed as possible …

[noelfraser]

Apologies - I missed that step

[Teodor]

Ok it seems the issues is indeed the security provider finds your login credentials wrong.

Can you send me a screenshot of what do you have in the security provider step and another one showing all steps in your server action?

The second video 11:35:26 shows the whole process - there are some pauses where I refer to the documentation

[Teodor]

Ah yes, sorry I missed that. I will check your videos now.

Should I post screen shots of my db table setup?
