Cannot login
Hi Guys,
Twice I have tried this without success.
I'm running Repetier-Server on an old laptop that I've got Linux Mint installed (LMDE 6). I'm running free edition until I can prove to myself its worth investing in a paid version. At the moment I only have 1 printer - Afinibot that I got from Aliexpress. I do have plans to expand to additional printers but don't want to invest in something that won't work for me.
I add the printer and set up all the parameters and everything seems okay on the server side. But from Host on my desktop I could not connect to it because it didn't have an API key. The ONLY way I was able to get an API key was to register a user on the server (old laptop) and I HAVE to enter a username and password (which I save). Then I get an API key from the user profile and enter it on Host on my desktop and I do a print which seems to do okay and I close down for the night.
The next morning I come in and fire up the old laptop and the Afinibot, but using the exact same username and password, it gets rejected by server (although my credentials are perfect) and I cannot log in. So, following instructions found somewhere (I think in the manual), I delete the "/var/lib/Repetier-Server/database" directory and start again, which, again, works fine. I shut down again and go to bed (because I've spent the whole day on this !!).
The next day, I come in again and exactly the same thing happens - my credentials get rejected and I cannot log in.
Please somebody, HELP!!

For host connection you do not need users. Go to global settings->connectivity and use the global apikey instead.
