[Thinlinc-technical] userid of Thinlinc administrator

[smoking wheels]

Thanks for the tip.You really want to set your own name like in Windows Servers create another admin account then set a really horrible passwd and disable the Default account.

 Sometimes the trivial things can stand in the way of getting things done.

I just installed Thinlinc Server 4.6.0 on my Debian Wheezy system, and for the life of me couldn't login to the Thinlinc Web Administration  system. I would navigate to myhost:1010 and get the login box, which says

A username and password are being requested by https://myhost:1010.
The site says"tlwebadm". 

So I type in "tlwebadmin" as userid and the password, and the box reappears. 
After many tries to eliminate the possibility that I typed the password incorrectly, I did some searching.

Finally, after a couple of hours, I discover in the file tlwebadm.hconf that the userid shoud be "admin", not "tlwebadm". 

I think it would be a good idea to make this prominent, somewhere in the documentation. 
Even better, add a message to the setup script to tell the person installing Thinlinc Server that the userid is "admin". 

Maybe one other thing to mention: when running tl-setup, it prompts for an administrator password, but does not prompt twice, to verify the password. Having a verify prompt might be good to have in the next release of Thinlinc Server.
