login problem; Error at ClientRequestManager.updateAuthCookie

[mxmilkiib]

Asking here as I'd rather not communicate through Discord;

I've done a fresh install on Armbian using the node repo and npm, with a 'download' user that is in the ssl-cert group, with a 'download' group writable run dir and a .service including SSL arguments (same LetsEncrypt certs that work on my qBitTorrent web on a different port), and I'm trying to connect to my qBitTorrent web install but I'm getting this in my log;

I've also tried noauth and setting qt user, pass and address flags, and rebooted to be sure.

Might I have missed something here? Thanks for any advice.

I had the same issue. Adding the intermediate certificates to my reverse proxy resolves the problem.

It's a 500 status code, I think flood can verify this tls cert but something else happened.

OK I forget， this 500 is response code of flood server ， not qb server

[gky99]

Yes exactly.

[gky99]

There is nothing to do with flood. It's just how node/axios perform the cert check.

[trim21]

Yes, I also don't think there is something flood can do here.

[gky99]

Post this just in case someone else runs into the same problem. It would be better if we could document this in the readme.

[trim21]

I'll add a section into wiki
