Website Login Credentials

[Andy]

Hi Everybody,

The Startsite on my Kiosk should be a Intranet-Site of our Company.
This Site needs Credentials do login. Is it possible to save this Credentials in Firefox in the .iso so that the Login Dialog disappears?

Thanks for the help!

Hi,

You could extract the cache from a vanilla firefox install (preferably Firefox on latest Porteus) and past it into kiosk one to let it use the cache for any new connections.

Cheers!

kiosk starts in 'private mode' by default (so personal data are not saved anywhere) so you have to change following options in 003-settings.xzm/home/guest/.mozilla/firefox/c3pp43bg.default/prefs.js:

Code: Select all

user_pref("browser.privatebrowsing.autostart", true);

Code: Select all

user_pref("signon.rememberSignons", false);

now you can add required files (like signons.sqlite - maybe something else) to 003-settings.xzm/home/guest/.mozilla/firefox/c3pp43bg.default/ folder -> recreate 003-settings.xzm module -> build new ISO.

Thanks for the replies!
Is it possible to recreate the 003-settings.xzm module in ubuntu?

Great! thank you for your patience!
Now my last question. How I can get the new 003-settings.xzm into the iso? The Kiosk Wizard takes every time the old 003-settings.xzm instead of my new.

i found this: http://www.porteus.org/component/conten ... ctory.html
But the folder is read-only on my usb-stick

hi Anady,

for security purpose kiosk kernel supports only is09660 filesystem which read only by design so you have to:
a) unpack the ISO
b) modify files
c) create new ISO with 'make_iso.sh-org'
d) burn on usb

hi fanthom,

ok, have done the new iso.. but the login screen is still there..
Any chance to show the config if the kiosk is running to check everthing is korrekt?

Login screen?! You seems to have forgotten the cookies that save the session cookie. No cookie, no session.

not sure if i follow you... do you want to autologin to this site? is it possible that you could take a screenshot of the site you want to enter and share so we would know what kind of authorization is needed (maybe cookies could help as suggested by hamza?)

do you mean a firefox config? if yes then you could run the wizard once again and enable 'file://' protocol then apply your customizations and create new ISO. i would recommend to always test in Virtualbox (faster than burning on usb, rebooting PC, etc).
once you boot kiosk just type 'file://' in the address bar and navigate to /home/guest/.mozilla/firefox/c3pp43bg.default then check prefs.js

yes i want to autologin to the site after the start of the kiosk and firefox. i'll give this with cookies a try..
here is the screen..

[Hamza]

So you need the database of logins (signon) + the cookies that are generated by this dialog box.

[Andy]

Any Idea how i can extract the cookies?

If i understand correctly, Andy wants the homepage to be a local site from his intranet. This will require saving database & cookie files however these are stored in the user folder which is over written every time firefox restarts.
