Can't log in with the shell client ​

Under certain circumstances, you can have trouble connecting to the Create module with the shell client.

Check connectivity ​

Please first verify you can reach the Create web server from the host where you run the shell client by using a tool like wget and pointing your ioChem-BD homepage:

bash
user$   wget https://iochem-bd.bsc.es                             # Replace the hostname for your specific ioChem-BD URL
        wget: unable to resolve host address 'iochem-bd.bsc.es'   # This message will indicate you can't reach the server

Change your credentials ​

If you try to connect multiple times and receive the following messages:

bash
user$   . ./start-rep-shell 
        Could not retrieve latest session cookie, please login again.
        Username: user54958@iochem-bd.org
        Password (empty to quit): 

        Could not retrieve latest session cookie, please login again.
        Username: user54958@iochem-bd.org
        Password (empty to quit):

It could be due to an incorrect/forgotten password, please change it using the reset password link.

Check your system date ​

The ioChem-BD login mechanism checks your current system date against the server's date to avoid login reply attacks.

If your system has an invalid date (future or outdated) the shell client will be unable to validate displaying the following error:

bash
user$   . ./start-rep-shell 
user$   Could not retrieve latest session cookie, please login again.
        Username: user54958@iochem-bd.org
        Password (empty to quit): 
        Credentials are valid.
        Starting client...
        Client started.
