Continuous Crash with Site Requiring Authentication

[Tony Waghorn]

I'm working on an intranet so some of the page content needs a login.

DW is crashing when I enter the User and Password information in the dialogue.

Are you trying to log-in to the site using Dw?

If so it will not work, as Dw's live view does not include a browser cache, and this may be causing it to crash.

Thanks pziecina​

Yes I was - is there a was round this?

I'm using iframes to bring in other content from the intranet

I've now reset the DW preferences on startup using

CMD + ALT +SHIFT

and that seems to have got it working again.

I have not found any way to get it to work consistantly.

CS6 used to be able to do the log-in, but even then problems did happen. I did at one point use a set-up that only checked the authentification via a db setting, but this will only work if you are using a local db on your computer, and also runs the risk of one forgetting to change the development authentication script back to the one required for actual use.
