Local login requires interaction

[Sillium]

I'm starting grafana-kiosk with

./grafana-kiosk.linux.amd64 --URL "https://<grafana-url>/playlists/play/2" --login-method local --username "<redacted>" --password "<redacted>" --kiosk-mode disabled --playlist

and see the screen as if I was not logged in. If I proceed to the "Sign In" button in the bottom left of the Grafana UI, I see the login form being filled in with the parameters I have passed in the command above. I am automatically logged in without clicking anything else after "Sign In".

This means, the whole kiosk is not starting without user interaction as I have to proceed to the "Sign In" button after starting. Is there any way to prevent this?

Which version of grafana are you using? I only tested with 6.2 so there may be some additional login patterns that need to be detected in the code.

Let me know and I'll duplicate the setup to sort out a fix :)

Thanks!

Sure, the version we're using is Grafana v6.1.0 (03346b6).

Just to make sure:

• If I don't pass any cli parameters for login and then click on "Sign In", the form fields stay empty and there's no chance to proceed to the playlist (except entering the login credentials myself of course)
• If I pass the parameters as shown above and then click "Sign In", the form gets filled in and then submitted without further action by me. I am then redirected to the playlist.

Thanks for having a look!

We just tried updating Grafana to 6.2.2 and the behaviour is the same. Login works with pre-filled username and password (= values given as cli parameters to grafana-kiosk) - but only after clicking "Sign In" in the Grafana UI.

I also met the bug. It appear when you have anonymous access enable.

In our case for example, we have public and private dashboards. So Anonymous access is enabled, but I want to use grafana-kiosk to display private dashboards on our monitoring TV. In this case, grafana-kiosk is not able to login automatically and only show public dashboard (and display an access denied for private ones). If I remove Anonymous access it's working properly.

Hello, I have a fresh Grafana V6.7.2 running on one of our servers.

I managed to install grafana-kiosk very easily but when running the following command my raspberry PI is taken to the login page and the form inputs are not filled.

/usr/bin/grafana-kiosk --URL http://redacted.host.com:3000/...full_dashboard_url...&var-name= --login-method local --username pi-kiosks --password easypassword--kiosk-mode tv --lxde

If I enter my login details manually and hit the sign-in button, I am redirected to the desired dashboard.

Any clue about what I may be doing wrong ?

Did I hit the same bug ?

I am experiencing the same problem. Using a local login with grafana-kiosk does not bypass the loginscreen.

This is still an issue running on Windows with Grafana 7.0.0-beta3.

grafana-kiosk.windows.amd64.exe --URL http://127.0.0.1:3000/playlists/play/1 --login-method local --password redacted --username redacted --kiosk-mode tv

Thanks
