AmiUpdate Passwords

According to the AmiUpdate web page, when accessing a site that requires login you will prompted the first time and then this information should be stored in the site list file which should be in the AmiUpdate folder.

I get prompted for the login for Hyperion's website every time I do a scan. I also don't seem to have a site list in the AmiUpdate folder. I currently have the servers www.amiupdate.net and update.amigaos.net defined with amiupdate being the one tagged for self update so I would think this information should be getting stored somewhere but I don't know where.

I have tried to add this to the AmiUpdate bug tracker but it's locked down and I can only get in as a guest user.

Hopefully I'm missing something obvious or doing something wrong! I swear back when I was trying OS4.1 under emulation it didn't prompt me every time but that was years ago and I can't remember how I did it, or if it just worked by itself.

Hmm, it doesn't appear to be autosaved.

The file is called SiteList, in the same path as the main AmiUpdate executable

It has 3 lines

AmigaOSUpdateServer
yourusername
yourpassword

Thank you - that appears to have worked nicely!

I'm pretty sure it used to be autosaved in the past, so it must be a bug having crept in lately.

@MartinW, have you tried creating a user on the site and log in to the bug tracker with that?

Best regards,

Niels

I haven't, no - if you click on Register For Account is just takes you to a web page for Codebench that hasn't been updated since 2017 and as far as I could see, didn't contain the register page that the link suggested it should.

It seems to be a bug...as long as @MartinW logged onto Hyperion's server via the pop up password window (coming from AmiUpdate) with the correct credentials it should have been automatically saved to SiteList

from the amiupdate site

I'll contact the chap later when I'm back to either get a login or at least report it. Got to head out for a bit.

I finally got a chance to have another look this morning and realised there is a contact link inside the bug tracker. But it looks like the bug has been picked up yesterday anyway. I imagine from reading here.

@MartinW

Yep, I've seen the bug, reported it.Looked through the code, and found the problem.



The code to save the details was commented out!!!!


I've no idea when or why this happened, but at least it will be fixed in the next release....
