  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

external_login problems

Interesting - in Firefox I still get a blank pge.

But in ie it eventually takes me to the wizard BUT with an error that it cannot get the site.

In fact that may have been the issue all along - I may not have tested in IE. If I take off the skin parameter it 'works' too.

So, in summary - doesn't work in Firefox - anyone know why?

Also, it doesn't work at all in the sense that it gets to the right place but does not have the user id correct.

Really all works fine, even in SB 3.0.2 :)
There are three optional parameters SiteID, ShowAdmin, and ReturnUrl. You must provide one of them to see anything after success login (behavior under IE was unexpected).

Some links examples:
Code:
[url]http://sb-host/external_login.php?Login=admin&Password=admin&ShowAdmin=true[/url]
[url]http://sb-host/external_login.php?Login=admin&Password=admin&SiteId=b2e11f743e10475dcaa60f81b271caaa[/url]
[url]http://sb-host/external_login.php?Login=admin&Password=admin&ShowAdmin=true&Language=de_DE[/url]
[url]http://sb-host/external_login.php?Login=admin&Password=admin&ShowAdmin=true&Skin=AquaCompact[/url]
[url]http://sb-host/external_login.php?Login=admin&Password=admin&ShowAdmin=true&Skin=WinXPReloadedCompact[/url]
[url]http://sb-host/external_login.php?Login=admin&Password=admin&HideNavigation=true&ReturnUrl=http://sb-host/Admin/User/New[/url]
 
I think there is a problem with the link - should have a .com right?

Anyway, even when I put in a .com all it does is redirects to the sb-host.com website.
 
Oops - when I found a domain with the same name, I thought he must have real examples.

anyway, sorry to say that it does NOT work under Mozilla Firefoz - it partially works under IE.

SibProgrammer - take a look at

http://sitebuilder.sitestarter.com.au/external...

and see if any of your links work. For me they don't.

thanks

My apologies - you are correct.

The difference between our url's was that yours had a ReturnUrl - what is that? I was using a FailUrl.

It seems that the ReturnUrl is where the user is taken on a successful login? I don't get this though - don't understand why it is important.

I changed that to another location and it went there.

Andrew

ps. thanks so much for the help!
 
Yes, ReturnUrl used for successful login and FailUrl in case of failure.

As I already said, that there are three optional parameters SiteID, ShowAdmin, and ReturnUrl. You must provide one of them to see anything after successful login (behavior under IE was unexpected).

In next version of SB default behavior will be to show admin panel. But only in the next version :)
 
I checked the logs and it seems that SB is trying to create another site, but the plan is limited to one site only.

not sure why it is doing that because if I log in fromthe login screen it works fine.

Also, if I click on the admin link from the Wizard it goes into the yata account, so it must be logged in correctly....
