Hi,
In my experience it happens when you set a non default skin and force
authentication on all page views. If I understand correctly, the cause
is that the login page will attempt to use a stylesheet that is stored
in the db... but because authentication is on, you cannot access that
stylesheet until you have logged in. Once you login, you are forwarded
to the last page you tried (and failed) to access before
authentication, which by now is the stylesheet.
On my setup I circumvented this by modifying login.vm so that it no
loger tries to access the protected skin in the database (see this
thread: http://mail-archive.objectweb.org/xwiki-users/2005-12/msg00047.html
). I never get the issue anymore.
Regards,
Robin

This has happened to me too. It showed up when I
accessed XWiki using
a different domain name (I have more than one mapped to the machine).
I don't know if that was the root cause though. The problem went away
after restarting the XWiki app server.

I get this all the time. I suspect it is due to
a changed login page -
as this does not seem to happen on initial installations, only on the
installations that we have modified the login page.

Subject: [xwiki-users] Strange log on behaviour
I have an xwiki on the wiki farm.
Users sometimes experience the following behaviour:
(1) Go to site, see a log on screen
(2) Username and password entered - taken to an html style sheet (I
think)
- this shows up as a new window in IE, takes over existing window in
Firefox
(3) Click back in case of Firefox, or close window for IE
(4) Taken to "normal" log-on screen
see screen shots here:
http://www.thecolehouse.org.uk/screenshots.htm
(trying to get screen shoot of css but all machines to hand have got
password remembered and so this behaviour is skipped)
This is off-putting for non-catechise new users cause they log on and in
their eyes get a page of gobbledygook and then give up.
Can anyone advise?
Thanks
