Help with log in page

We are trying to use OpenMRS for our telemedicine project. We linked our openMRS login to our telemedicine website but when it is clicked, it shows below but when you copy and paste link directly into a browser, it works! refreshing browser doesn’t help. web address link remains exactly the same. Anyone know how to fix this? Please?

Can you paste the log at pastebin.com and then here, you just share the link?

It looks like a bug in LoginPageController.java in the referenceapplication module. Like it might be assuming the the redirect URL is always set?

I think this issue is already tracked here: https://issues.openmrs.org/browse/RA-825

For anyone else with a similar issue: we ended up fixing this by hacking the following javascript onto the tomcat root page (e.g. /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/ROOT/index.jsp).

<meta name="referrer" content="no-referrer" />
Redirecting to /openmrs, click <a href="/openmrs/login.htm">here</a> if not redirected within 5 seconds...

<script>
document.location.href="/openmrs/login.htm"
</script>

It seems like older versions of LoginPageController choke on HTTP requests with a referrer header that points to a location outside of the OpenMRS site. The above code “fixes” the issue by voiding the referrer header then redirecting to the OpenMRS site.

For what it’s worth, I wasn’t able to reproduce this on demo.openmrs.org, so maybe it got fixed without the issue being closed?
