Description of Problem: I cannot log into the RHN site with konqueror on Red Hat 7.1. I get a dialog "The process for the https://www.redhat.com protocol died unexpectedly" How Reproducible: go here: http://www.redhat.com/network/main/login.html enter your login name and click login This is with konqueror v2.1.1 distributed with RedHat 7.1
Shold be solved with newest version of RHN, please triple-check, Jay.
Is it supposed to be fixed with the Red Hat 7.1 konqueror, or do I need to upgrade to RH 7.2? I just tried it again with Konqueror from RH7.1 (version 2.1.1), and I get the same message (protocol died unexpectedly)
Jay and Chip: - was this a problem with the cookie expiration or is it something else?
OK, this was not the cookie problem. It just told the user they they needed to enable cookies in order to use RHN. I just tried doing this with 2.1.1 on KDE-2.1.2 and it worked . . . to a point. Following the link that you gave above doesn't present the user with a login dialog anymore (since the site change.) Instead, it just takes you to a info page about RHN. But going to www.redhat.com and clicking the RHN link (which takes you to https://rhn.redhat.com) and logging in does work. Only thing that I imagine is happening is that Konquerer on KDE-2.1.1 has issues. I'll check with gdk to see what the "fix" was for this.
OK, just checked with gdk and he said that he saw the old url (from the old site) and knew that we didn't have that link anymore, so he closed the bug. So, Michael, let me know what you are seeing from your side. Any chance that we have some odd proxy issues going on here?
Konqueror in KDE 2.1 had some problems with cookies and SSL, causing a whole bunch of sites not to work right including (for example) Lloyds TSB Bank in the UK and RHN. This problem appears to be fixed in KDE 2.2.1. I am successfully using RHN with Konqueror from KDE 2.2.1, BTW
Closing this out as it appears to have been a Konquerer bug.
