Hi everyone,
My first post here! I'm pretty sure this will be a simple answer but I'm stumped so grateful for any advice.
Our Library Kiosk loads this page: https://www.brunel.ac.uk/life/library/kiosk
And this is our config file: https://www.brunel.ac.uk/life/library/d ... config.txt
Everything on the page works except for "Password Portal". The url for the Password Portal page is https://pwreset.brunel.ac.uk/default.aspx, which exists in the config, but when we click the page from the Kiosk screen, we are getting the following message:
Is this what would normally display if something isn't whitelisted correctly (as I initially thought) or is there something else going on here?
Thanks for your responses in advance!
Roland.

Hello Roland,
I believe the problem is that kiosk is not able to resolve the IP address of 'pwreset.brunel.ac.uk' domain.
Please use this parameter as a workaround:
https://porteus-kiosk.org/parameters.ht ... me_aliases
Thanks

Thanks for this - I think I understand. So, for my example I would just need the following as an additional line in the config?
hostname_aliases=myipaddress pwreset.brunel.ac.uk
hostname_aliases=myipaddress pwreset.brunel.ac.uk

Correct.

Update on this - we still haven't managed to get it working.
If there is anything else that anyone can suggest we try, I'd be forever grateful.
