Network server requires authentication

Posted: Thu Jul 20, 2023 2:04 am

OS PopOS! (Ubuntu)

I have installed libphidget22 using the install script(Non-Root).
Have added the additional packages.

libphidget22-dev
libphidget22extra
phidget22networkserver
libphidget22java
phidget22admin
phidget22wwwjs

No issues, started up phidget22networkserver.

sudo phidget22networkserver -v
Phidget22NetworkServer 1.1
2023-07-20T09:00:03.000 <Info> netsrv[main()] : Phidget22NetworkServer 1.1

I can see the web server and network server are listening

phidget22 463872 root 13u IPv4 1463184 0t0 TCP *:8080 (LISTEN)
phidget22 463872 root 15u IPv4 1470973 0t0 TCP *:5661 (LISTEN)

Using Chrome or Firefox navigating to 127.0.0.1:8080 the page loads but I get a Password prompt modal.

Checked /etc/phidgets/phidget22networkserver.pc

There is no auth present, tried adding a server auth password but it this password does not work.

Code: Select all

phidget {
        enabled: true
        logging {
                level: debug
                file: '/var/log/phidget22networkserver.log'
        }
        network {

                }
                publish {

        }
        feature {

                }

                        }
                }
                phidgets {
                        enabled: true
                }
        }
}
Added auth

Code: Select all

Well, after some purging and cleaning and re installing I have managed to get it working...

Removed any file\folder with phidget in its name.
Purged any phidget packages
cleaned the apt repository

I did find some phidget21 libraries from some time ago.

Thought I'd try a build from source, this threw up a number of errors.

Couldn't find the libphidget22extra library, even though /usr/local/lib was in the path and the file was present.
Added LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib to my env vars, this fixed that problem.
All built and installed but no web page. Then realised I didn't have the source to build phidget22wwwjs

Installed it via apt, still not working.
server wouldn't start, access denied errors for /var/log

Changed /etc/phidgets/phidget22networkserver.pc accesslog path to a user path.
Still an error, removed the server logging directive, still an error.
Added file: user/path/logfile.log to the logging directive

Server started, still no webpage.

Decided to try the script non-root install again.

Noticed that during the apt update there was an error

arch i386 is not available in source https://www.phidgets.com/debian jammy main

Edited /etc/apt/sources.list.d/phidgets.list to specify the architecture

deb [arch=amd64] https://www.phidgets.com/debian jammy main

apt update showed no errors

Installed all the packages, no issues.

Web server works perfectly, no auth popup, can control a phidget outputs.

Javascript code can access the phidget and control the outputs.

I'm not 100% sure if it was a combination of issues or just the arch=amd64 that fixed it.

Hope that helps someone......

Hi. Thanks for posting this problem. I am having exactly the same issue: I get asked for a password on the server page and nothing works to bypass it. Brian from Phidget's support also suggested adding Auth to the phidget22networkserver.pc file, but not even he could fix it.

I have since tried your instructions:
1) removed all apt-get installations
2) Added deb [arch=amd64] https://www.phidgets.com/debian jammy main to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/phidgets.list
3) Re-installed using the script:
curl -fsSL https://www.phidgets.com/downloads/setup_linux | sudo -E bash - &&\
sudo apt-get install -y libphidget22
4) Installed all additional libraries with sudo apt-get install libphidget22-dev libphidget22extra phidget22networkserver libphidget22java phidget22admin phidget22wwwjs

Here is what I get when I run the above:

Code: Select all

$ curl -fsSL https://www.phidgets.com/downloads/setup_linux | sudo -E bash - &&sudo apt-get install -y libphidget22

N: Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/binary-i386/Packages' as repository 'https://www.phidgets.com/debian jammy InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'i386'
I did notice that the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/phidgets.list reverts back to the original (without the [arch=amd64]) every time after I install. Is there maybe something else I should be doing too? I have tried running the manual installation with:

wget -qO- http://www.phidgets.com/gpgkey/pubring.gpg | sudo apt-key add - && sudo bash -c "echo 'deb [arch=amd64] http://www.phidgets.com/debian bullseye main' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/phidgets.list"
(with the modified phidgets.list file)

Then I get this:

Code: Select all

Warning: apt-key is deprecated. Manage keyring files in trusted.gpg.d instead (see apt-key(8)).
OK
I tried fixing it with this, but no luck:

Code: Select all

user@user-VirtualBox:~$ wget -qO- http://www.phidgets.com/gpgkey/pubring.gpg | sudo apt-key add - && sudo bash -c "echo 'deb [arch=amd64] http://www.phidgets.com/debian jammy main' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/phidgets.list"
Warning: apt-key is deprecated. Manage keyring files in trusted.gpg.d instead (see apt-key(8)).
OK

I would really appreciate any help you can give me.

Thanks, Neil

The warning about i386 arch is just a warning and should not affect anything. I've talked to Brian about helping you myself tomorrow, as I would like to get to the bottom of this.
