Browser challange response error

Sun Jul 20, 2008 12:49 am

I've been toying around with the Router OS on a PC. One NIC is connected to cable modem and the other NIC is connected to a small 5 port switch, which is connected to another client PC. I've successfully configured User Manager and Hotspot to run on the same computer. When I try to access the Internet from the client, I get the login screen and login successfully as admin.

In User Manager, I created a router, credits, and a user. The User information contains a name, password, and full price credit of 10 minutes. When I try to login as the user, I get the error message
Web browser did not send challenge response (try again, enable JavaScript)
.

The browser's JavaScript already is enabled and I can login and access the Internet fine with admin, but not as the user. Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?

Normally, you get that if you wait too long to submit the user/password. There is a time-sensitive hash code sent, and if that is not a current code, that is the response you get. Try it again immediately and you can probably login.

If not, then something has gone wrong with your md5.js script. I am not that up on this part, but it is my impression it is a javascript routine that does the hash code encryption. You can find it in /file and access by ftp. It is in the /hotspot directory.

Never mind, I got it fixed. Operator error on my part

I left it alone for awhile and went for my daily jog. While I was running, I remembered that I was distracted in the middle of the procedure for putting the hotspot and user manager on the same box, and I never entered the last command in the procedure shown in the user manager manual. Once I got back from running and entered the final command, everything worked out fine.

Thanks for your help though.
