Apparently some boxes are recognized as password-boxes by browsers.
FF3 and some other browsers have difficulty making the difference.
This might be FF3 or cacti-related.
After I removed the password for my cacti-site from the password-cache in FF3 everything worked ok.
So no IE-tab or other browsers are needed. Just type your password instead of saving it on FF3.

Hi All
Today I suddenly realized that I cannot add in new device or save the existing device.
I get the same error message of:
Error: Passwords do not match, please retype.
I'm using Firefox 3.0 (released version) in openSUSE 11.0 Linux.
I then try using Konqueror of KDE 3.5 (openSUSE 11.0) and it works!

It is a known error with FF3. No solution yet

Here is a workaround that works for me on Firefox 3.0.1 on Windows XP:
1) Go to the host.php page of the device your want to modify
2) Select SNMP Version 3 in the corresponding listbox
3) Delete the password in the "SNMP Password (v3)" field
4) Re-select SNMP Version 1 or 2 in the corresponding listbox
5) Save
cheers

|
|
I was able to get around this by un-checking Remember Passwords for Sites in FF.
I am running Ubuntu 8.04 - Desktop and FF 3.0.1
Hope this gets fixed soon by Mozilla as I view this as a temporary solution only.

I solved this problem by removing the saved password (admin password of cacti) in the firefox.
Thanks to all

what about flagging the form fields autocomplete=off?
Not sure if that works for saved passwords or not, but helps with the random cruft.

I tried that and it seems to work! What I did was to add an autocomplete parameter to form_text_box in lib/html_form.php and turned autocomplete off on password-fields and fields called something with "username" in it. It's a hack, I know, but it looks like it works.

| This isn't just FF3, it's FF2 as well. Client issue, clearing cookies for the site solves it.

|

Since Firefox's autocomplete mechanism fires after the window.onload, you cannot do value='' in the JS, instead you should do a setAttribute. Here is a patch that applies the correction.
| Code: |
diff -u cacti-0.8.7b/host.php cacti-patched/host.php
--- cacti-0.8.7b/host.php 2008-02-11 19:57:48.000000000 -0500

document.getElementById('row_snmp_password').style.display = "none";
document.getElementById('row_snmp_community').style.display = "";
|
Even though I posted the patch code above, due to tab->space conversion in this forum, I suggest using the attached file instead.
The easiest way to apply this patch is to cd to your cacti directory and:
1. THIS IS IMPORTANT. Verify the validity of the URI like this: | Code: | | curl -L http://forums.cacti.net/download.php?id=14681 |
2. If it looks like a safe patch, then apply it directly from that URI via curl: | Code: | | curl -L http://forums.cacti.net/download.php?id=14681|patch -p1 -N |

| This patch makes fixes the issue that Firefox has with the host edit page. |

Hi.
How has this issue been solved? Is a patch available? in the discussion thread for Cacti 0.8.7c Beta 1 it just lists "-bug: Host save failed in FireFox 3 for non-SNMP V3 hosts, complaining about "password mismatch" without giving a bug number.
Thanks,
Michael

It is solved by not testing user/pw in cases where it is not required (e.g. non SNMP V3 hosts)

I understand the system must be stopped before that? I do kill, but the process is immediately revived.
Please help. It is necessary for a diploma project.
Thanks in advance!
