Login Bug?

[nickvnlr]

I need some help with this.
See this video:

I cannot log in using the virtual keyboard of my device running Chrome on Linux. Ideally I would like to have a login with no credentials (these devices are programmed to only access one page) so, if needed the user could just poke the "login" button and view the assigned page. Another option I would like would be automatic login from specified IP addresses. I have 30 of these and they are each assigned a specific static address. So it would be nice if login wasn't even required.

Also, HOW DO I GET RID OF THE SECURITY CERTIFICATE WARNING?

Thank you,
Nick

For your certificate warning, try adding the certificate to the certificate store on the chromebook:

chrome://settings/certificates

It's not a chromebook. It's an ARM powered touchscreen pc with Linux/Chrome, but I will see if I can do something like that. That is the least of my worries.

Thanks!

Sorry, for some reason I got chromebook in my head - on linux you should be able to add that certificate to the store as well to get rid of the warning.

For the login, have you looked at an add in for chrome, such as Auto Login?

Re the video, you need to 'tab' down from password text entry box.
Hit tab twice, once to get the 'remember' tick box and then again to highlight the login button.
It is a common thing that I have been seeing on non-pc browsers.

Re logging in without a user/pass. We have talked about internally, but are against turning off that security.
I know it does not help, but we built that functionality into groov view for iOS and groov view for Android for this very reason.
Those apps can be configured with the user/pass and so can go straight into groov from the menu.... Using those apps is the 'official' way of logging in without needing that first screen.

I don't have a tab key... Any thought to targeted IP logins/page access?

Arrow key will also work. Just need to move the browser focus from the password button to the login button.

At this point, no. Did you try the plugin that was suggested?

[nickvnlr]

I don't have arrow keys either (that I saw). This is not Android. Think internet appliance. No apps, widgets, gidgets, gadgets, etc. Everything is coded into the unit. No UI other than the browser UI. This is not Chrome OS either. All program tweaks are done through PuTTy or command terminal on the unit itself. This seems technically like a bug in the groov. Any chance this can get fixed at some point? I can connect a physical keyboard temporarily, but I would rather not have to do this every time a unit is powered off (there are 30 of these).

Hi Nick,

Sorry for taking forever to answer this: I tried to answer back on April 8th but my account wasn't verified/working yet (I haven't posted on the forums before), and by the time it was I'd forgotten.

Regarding hitting Enter to log in: that does work in every supported browser: Chrome, IE, Firefox, Safari, and the default browsers on iOS and Android. It logs in using a bog-standard HTML form with a Submit option, so I'm not sure what more we can do there: it seems like maybe your virtual keyboard just isn't submitting the form normally.

Regarding logging in automatically: if you log into your devices using Kiosk level users, we have an option in Project Settings to not log Kiosk users out. You'll still have to log in manually once on each device, but after that (assuming cookies get persisted as normal on your devices) they should log in automatically.
