Sounds like a browser security setting.

Do any of the sites use SSL and redirect to HTTPS?

Posted: Fri Jun 26, 2009 11:48 am

And, are the other sites in an approved sites list in your browser?

Posted: Fri Jun 26, 2009 11:53 am

No none of the site are approved in the browser and no domains are on ssl certificate.
thanks for the help

Then I am stumped. I would need to see screen shots or get URLs from the sites to reproduce it.

I was able to get the admin authentication popup correctly on this site. Is that your issue, or is it the admin login page where you see this error?

I also got to the HTTPAuth NS log-in pop up.
I might be completely off base, so take this just as an FYI but the last time I saw something like you describe was using FF browser to access a site hosted on a VPS where the shared SSL had expired, even though the site itself was not using the SSL or using HTTPS

Yes the sentinal box pops up but if you look at the box it shows the error.

I don't see any error at all on the pop-up, only the message

I ve tried it with IE and FF and don´t get this.I´m quite sure I can login without issue.Check our Browser/Windows settings.

What are you trying to log into? It appears you are already logged in as admin, the admin menu is to the left.

That is all standard stuff. Just ignore it. Basic HTTP Auth is sent as clear text and always has been. Your browser, because of windows browser security settings (somewhere) is just making you aware in the event you were expecting an ssl connection. Digest Auth, on the other hand, will encode your info but it is not universally supported and isn't even in PHP4 if I remember correctly.

Hi so if this is the norm I guess I just have a sentinal login issue. I have looked at the admin password for sentinal and checked out the .staccess file and it shows the encripted password there.
Just wondering what I have missed Confused

everything appears to be fine but cant think what I may of missed.?
Is there an admin here who would would be kind enough to have a quick look if i give then the login details as I am at a total loss?
cheers
