Nuke Sentinel Default admin logon

Private Joined: Aug 20, 2004 Posts: 42

I locked myself out on accident while trying things out with Nuke Sentinel. The Nuke Sentinal page has 0 support so I thought I could ask here.

Does anyone know the default logon in or where to change it?

Are you banned or locked out i.e. cannot login? Can you access admin.php? If you can access admin.php, you're not banned by Sentinel.

Which version of Sentinel are you using? After a certain version (I'm not sure which), the superuser/superadmin accounts could NOT be banned. Have you tried posting on the developers' support forums at http://ravenphpscripts.com/forum61.html?

BTW, Sentinel has no default login as far as I know; there is no separate login for Sentinel. Configuration and administration of Sentinel is via the admin pages accessed via admin.php.

p.s. no need for threadcrapping on the (de)merits of the pc-killer add-on for Sentinel.

Its 2.01, I wasnt banned. I used the HTML password feature for admin and my current info did not work.

if your using mysql try using MyAdmin to go to your database and change the god password. you can get the information for myadmin at www.phpmyadmin.net

This tool will make it so much easier to create, maintain, and lookup information in mysql.

I set Admin HTTP Auth to on, and now I cannot get logged in as Admin. Is there a way to diable this feature and reconfigure with a valid user/pass?

Answer
This would normally use your Superuser (or GOD admin) user name and password. If this does not work, you can edit the database using PHPMyAdmin. Find the table nuke_nsnst_config, then find the field HTTP Auth and set this value to 0 (zero). Log in to your site as admin, go to the Sentinel contol panel. Click on Admin HTTP Auth. This will show the protected admins. Click on your admin name and in this window, you can set a new password for the Admin HTTP Auth.

When you use CGIAuth Setup it gives you a code to add into htaccess.
In the code find the line

Code:

AuthName "Restricted by NukeSentinel(tm)"

Change to

Code:

AuthName "your admin.php user login name"

Where your admin.php user login name is obviously your admin name.

Failure to do this will result in being asked 3 times for username and password then a 401 error.

If this isn't what you was on about......Sorry .......But it might help someone else.
