Prompted for password twice on login

[Terry Auspitz]

When signing into SIM and typing my username, password and domain correctly, I am prompted to type my password a second time. Upun retyping the same information a second time, I can successfully log in.

I do not receive an error message after the first login attempt. The login screen simply reloads and appears as if I had never tried to log in.

If I type incorrect login credentials on either attempt, I do receive appropriate error messages.

I am encountering this message in Firefox 1.0PR. I do not have the problem on the same computer with Internet Explorer. Mine is the only computer here with Firefox so I cannot test that.

Waiting for several minutes after the Java applets load does not seem to make a difference.

A forums search has not turned up anything related to this problem. Anything else I should try?

Thanks,
Terry

Not seen this.
I've got Mozilla Firefox 1.0 PR here and it does not show this behaviour.

You might want to check the version of the JRE you're using. I've updated mine to 1.4.2_06.

I have seen a couple of other issues with Firefox though. It will not display the Memory Page or the PMP Graphs.

I just went to www.java.com and the latest version I can find (for Windows) is 1.4.2_05. Is 1.4.2_06 available somewhere else?

Well that's got me confused (nothing new there) but I just went to the Java site and I can only find 1.4.2_05. And yet I have the download and the JRE identifies itself as 1.4.2_06.

Maybe 1.4.2_06 has been withdrawn for some reason. Go for 1.4.2_05, I'm not too sure of the changes between the two, but that also worked fine for me.

Terry,
See:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html

This offers 1.4.2_06. Not sure why the main Java site doesn't.

[Terry Auspitz]

That didn't work either. Has anyone else encountered this problem?

[Terry Auspitz]

It looks like another user had the same problem and a solution was found in that thread. I'm cross-posting it here for the benefit of anyonte who might find this thread on a search:

I have only seen this occur when you launch the SIM GUI from

https://simserver:50000.

Try to launch the GUI using

http://simserver:280

Thanks to Joel Rubenstein for this solution. Thank you also Rob for your efforts. Although you were not ultimately able to find the solution, I genuinely appreciate your efforts.
