logins are temporarily disabled

[zhaoxin...@gmail.com]

Hi, I'm trying to install a new emulab and now in step of "Creating the First Project". 

When I'm trying login with elabman, it shows:

Sorry, logins are temporarily disabled, please try again later.

What should I do now? Can anyone help?

Hi. First thing is to run this command and send us the output.

boss> testbed-version

Thanks

Thank you for your help, Leigh.

The output of cmd  testbed-version is as follows:

boss:/usr/testbed/www/portal # testbed-version

I've just tested the portal/login.php. The two conditions of line 64 are both true.

if (NOLOGINS() && !$adminmode) {

Hi, Try this please:

boss> sudo testbed-control shutdown
boss> sudo testbed-control boot

and then see if you can login. Watch for errors in output from the
above commands.

It seems that apache geni is not working. I remember that I commented out protogeni part in the step of "Installing Emulab Software on boss", because it can't be installed.

Oh, that is not good, that has to be turned on now, using something
like this:

PORTAL_ENABLE=1
PROTOGENI_SUPPORT=1
PROTOGENI_GENIRACK=0
PROTOGENI_DOMAIN="XXX" # XXX This needs to be localized
PROTOGENI_LOCALUSER=1
PROTOGENI_ISCLEARINGHOUSE=1
PROTOGENI_WEBSITE=$BOSSNODE
PROTOGENI_EMAIL="$TBOPSEMAIL"

The DOMAIN above should be a short token, something similar
to your domain name, but about 8 chars.

I've tried to comment out geni part in testbed-control script. And now "testbed-control boot" cmd runs normally. I can also login with elabman.

So next question is: Can emulab work well without geni?

Hi. The Geni code is required now. You will not actually be a part of
the Geni Federation, it is just that we use code from that subsystem
even on standalone testbeds

OK, thanks Leigh. I'll try to resolve the geni installation problem.
