Title: System Wizard Password Error
Post by: Ren on October 30, 2017, 06:56:01 pm

Hey Guys,

Earlier i tried completing the System Wizard and got an error when i choose to use my current password for the Admin WebUI

At System: Wizard: Set Admin Web GUI Password screen i decided to use my current not knowing i needed to type my current password again. I thought "(leave empty to keep current one)" applied to then "admin password again" field

Anyway i hit next  and was presented with the below error page.

I refreshed the screen several times and that did nothing. After hitting the BACK button a couple times i was able to get to a previous point in the wizard. Can a validation be added that both fields be filled out before going forward ? Because i was the dumbass that went forward without filling out the required fields.

Hi Ren,

Yes, the error handling is a bit silly with the hard error and the browser back usage. I'd rather replace the wizard next year, something we always wanted to do and I have to confess I always skip it (upper left, click the OPNsense logo) rather than going through it.

But, FWIW, we can fix this error to be more graceful, load the page again in full and politely ask again...

Please add a ticket to GitHub: https://github.com/opnsense/core/issues


Cheers,
Franco
