No login to WebUI after Upgrade 5.0.3 -> 5.1.0

Setup, Configuration and Use Migration
1

Hi there,

I am using openhab on Debian 13 (trixie) and just (2 hours ago) upgraded 5.0.3 → 5.1

In the “Setting” “API Securiy” the option “Implicit User Role” is normally deactivated for me, so I have to login to view my “Overview” page.
The option “Allow Basic Authentication” (advanced) in the same Menu is activated.

Before the upgrade a login page was shown whenever I opened
”https:// myserver :8443”
and after the login I was redirected to the overview page.

After the upgrade the overview-page is loaded but it stays black.

A further research shows that while trying to load tags from the REST-API we get an 401 UNAUTHORIZED error and thats it.

If I enable “Implicit User Role” everything works as expected and I get to see the overview page but without the need for a login.

So I wonder whether this is a bug or a design change.

However, I would like to return to my previous setup in which I had to login to then show the overview page. Is there an option I overlooked or something else I need to configure?

Also having this issue.
Chrome console logs when trying to load main page:

rest/tags:1 Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 401 (Unauthorized)
index-BKkrdbNu.js:40533 Failed to load semantic tags:
(anonymous) @ index-BKkrdbNu.js:40533
index-BKkrdbNu.js:40533 Unauthorized
(anonymous) @ index-BKkrdbNu.js:40533
overview/:1 Uncaught (in promise) Failed to load semantic tags: Unauthorized

I am not prompted for authentication, it’s a blank white page

First thing I would do is delete the server cookies in your browser.

This is a bug and has already been fixed, you have to wait for openHAB 5.1.1

Thank you very much for that information :slight_smile:

Or you upgrade Main UI to the latest CI build of the patch release branch, instructions on how to this will be added soon to the docs.

I also activated this option in openhab 5.1 and now i have no access to my main ui. Is there a way to turn the setting back without using the gui? I made many changes to my config and have only an older backup :see_no_evil_monkey:

Follow the linked instructions in the console to upgrade the Main UI bundle to the latest 5.1.x-SNAPSHOT:
