Hi to all,

i have a dnn portal (4.9.x if i can recall correctly) for about 1 year. I had enabled captcha login for administrator (only) login. The last 3-4 days, i had complaints that my client could not connect via login module, due to the fact that the captcha icon was broken. I checked it and it was true. The captcha image is not broken and as a result, i cannot enter the administration panel.

Could someone explein what has happened and the captcha stopped working correctly? Also, should i modify some database value in order to disable captcha and being able to login as the administrator again?

thanks in advance

did you try with multiple browsers? did you install any security upgrades or made changes to server configuration?

Hi,

yes, i have tried in multiple browsers. In any case, the captcha login has been working for a long time till now.

Actually, it is a shared hosting environment. Do you suspect that some modification on the provider server could cause this issue? But what kind of modification?

are you still running on same version of .Net framework? if it has been changed to 4.0, it might be a reason. anyways, the value is stored in ModuleSettings table, look for a row with SettingName "DNN_UseCaptcha" and set SettingValue to 0, same for SettingName "Security_CaptchaLogin"

I changed the module settings table and disabled the captcha. But i haven't figure out what has caused the malfunction.

I haven't changed the .net runtime, actually i haven't modified anything for the last 6 months. Also, the same issue appeared in another DNN portal installation (4.9.x also). In any case it is a shared hosting environment. Do you think they have changed something that affects captcha login?

thanks
