Problem Logging Into MTH

Sat February 9th, 2008 by ronniecurrey

Have you ever been at another computer and could not log in? Has a student or parent reported login problems? When logging in, the screen returns to the Login Screen.

My website, ronniecurrey.net, is directed to MTH. Sometimes, at school or at another computer, I am not able to Login. Why? Because the security level on many commercial computers is set so that a link cannot be redirected to another link.

EXAMPLE: By typing ronniecurrey.net, I am redirected to www.currey.musicteachershelper.com. If I am at a computer, such as a school computer, I am not allowed to be redirected. Instead, I am asked for my user ID and password again.

The solution: Go directly to the site, such as www.currey.musicteachershelper.com instead of ronniecurrey.net. It works every time. I frequently will have a parent complain about not being able to log into MTH. This fix gets the parents in every time.

Remember, this is not a problem with MTH, but with the security level on the computer or server being used.

  1. Another way to solve this problem is to make sure that when you setup your website to redirect through your registrar, that you turn "OFF" domain/url masking. Masking the url uses a hidden frame technique that keeps, for example, ronniecurrey.net in the url, rather than the actual address at the musicteachershelper.com website. Turning off domain masking will make sure it redirects properly and will resolve any security issues for your students.
