Hi
On one of my servers running Windows 2016 the web logins are failing since I upgraded to ver 12.5. So I was wondering where the credentials are stored. I have tried deleting and re-creating the credentials but the login page always says "Invalid Credentials". So am thinking that maybe the file where the credentials are stored might be corrupt and should be deleted.
Thanks,
Simon
Where are the web credentials stored?
Re: Where are the web credentials stored?
Here is an example of what I am seeing. I created a new web user and assigned the password as "1234567". Then I tried to login and received the invalid credentials warning. You can see from the console that I entered the password correctly and that the user name matches the web credentials. .

Hello,
Have you tried clearing your client's browser cache with ctrl + F5 ?

Yes I completely cleared browser cache of everything and I got the same result. So I tried from a Linux workstation that has never been used to access this site and the result is the same. The credentials are always invalid.

Hi
After some javascript debugging I discovered that the responseText from the server contains an error message. This is why the login fails. I have added the error message to my support ticket and am waiting their response. Just for completeness here is what is returned to the browser when I try to login:
Unhandled Exception: System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for '<Module>' threw an exception. ---> System.ArgumentException: Illegal characters in path.

Re: Where are the web credentials stored?
Support has been able to fix this problem. They changed a couple of security settings and things started to work again. They were unable to explain why it stopped working after two years.
