Web Terminal - HTTP ERROR 401
I am trying to add Web Terminal as a feature for my team to use.
I installed webterminal via zpm "install webterminal" ran on %SYS on our Development box.
%SYS>zpm "install webterminal"

and gave my Developer Role access to Read, Use, Write Web Terminal. However when I go to try to launch the web terminal I am getting

I am not running any kind of SSL requirements through the Web Gateway or built in Apache. Can someone tell me if I missed something or how do I resolve this issue? If I change the Web Application to unauthentication then a page will load but it will be blank.
We use Delegated Authentication against AD to verify the user group before allowing access, because I am using ZAUTHENTICATE could that be an issue?
What I noticed by looking at the Security Audit is that when I click on the Web Terminal link it is claiming I am a UnknownUser - /terminal login failure. How to I get it to prompt a user for a user name and password?
Comments
just a hint:
Webterminal uses 2 connections:
- http/https
- wss/ws websockets
this might cause problems. just my guess
In WEBCOMMAND I use just 1 connection (rather straight CSP)
with less comfort
Hi @Scott Roth, when 2023.2 is released VS Code will support an integrated WebSocket-based terminal that's implemented as a new Atelier API endpoint. It will be available in kits by default and the vscode-objectscript. It's documented here and the newest beta version of the vscode-objectscript extension and 2023.2 previews have the needed code.
I don't think we will be going to 2023.2 anytime soon, as we just got to 2022.1 in May. It will be another year at least before we upgrade again. I am just trying to use this on the version we have currently and not through VSCode, I was trying to get this running for my team to use in edition to the Management Portal.
and another way to access terminal through web, is by using ttyd, I use it for irissqlcli-web. ttyd helps to webify any terminal application, it can be bash, or iris session
Which browser do you use? I noticed that in Edge the credentials box is not popped-up resulting an 401 error, so you need to work with "IE mode" (on chrome, it does pop-up).
I did try Chrome, but now I am receiving...
WebTerminal lost connection with server (code 1006).
Can you show the definition for /terminalsocket web app please?
If it's a DEV server, add %ALL to it and check if it works.
Also, check Audit DB for PROTECT errors.
%ALL was the issue. Why will this only work in Chrome and not Microsoft Edge? Chrome is a pig when it comes to Memory so I have been looking for an alternative.
Why will this only work in Chrome and not Microsoft Edge?
Is that a local server? Edge does not allow websockets on localhost.
In the Edge open About:flags page. Enable the "allow Localhost Loopback" feature.
How do I configure Apache/Web Gateway to allow this connection to happen?
