71651 - Can't login

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect)

Description

[Mike Kowalski]

I can't seem to login to any of them. I get an error message on screen that 
says: Authentication error
The web server is unable to complete your itw request:

Invalid session ID

I used Netscape 4.76 and IE 5.5 and it works fine.

The html is:

<html>
<head>
<meta NAME="GENERATOR" CONTENT="Adobe PageMill 3.0 Win">
<title>Library Main Page</title>
</head>
<frameset FRAMEBORDER=1 COLS="22%,78%">
<frame SRC="Library%20webpage%20LEFT%20FINAL%20ONE.html" NAME="Frame27113" 
SCROLLING=YES>
<frame SRC="FINAL%20REALLY%20FINAL%20MIDDLE.html" NAME="Frame25696" 
SCROLLING=YES>
<noframes>
<body>
Viewing this page requires a browser capable of displaying frames.
</body>
</noframes>
</frameset>
</html>

You may need passwords to login to some of them.

The url (and the links on the left) works for me in Mozilla 2001031008 in WinNT.
I don't get asked for any username and password.
The only strange thing I see is that the url for the left frame doesn't have a
HTTP header, just Html.  The Frameset has a HTTP header, as does the url for the
right frame.

It's the links in the right frame that asks for a username and password.

Comment 3

[Mike Kowalski]

It's the links in Internet Resources that don't work.

Comment 4

[Conor Lennon]

Ok,
If I go to the 'Electric Library' link under 'Internet Resources' I get to a
page that asks for a User Name and Password.
Is it that when you enter a valid User Id and Password here you get the error?
When I enter an invalid User name and Password I get a Bad User Name/Password error.

Comment 5

[Mike Kowalski]

When I enter the correct password that's when I get the error.

Comment 6

[Conor Lennon]

Well how do I get a valid User name and Password?

Comment 7

[Mike Kowalski]

Some logins actually work. Goto Infotrac Gen'l Ref. Center Gold(Magazines) and 
the password is eagle.

Not a blocker

Comment 9

[Fabian Guisset]

Confirmed. I'll try to send a mail to the webmaster to ask him why it doesn't
work on mozilla.

Comment 10

[Mike Kowalski]

I'm using Build ID: 2001042504 and it works fine. Marking WORKSFORME.
