Keywords: OpenEdX - Virtual Machines - Technical issue - Credentials
Description:
We implemented OpenedX virtual machine distribution of bitnami using VirtualBox (in Windows) and able to see Learner frontend and Studio dashboard.
Issue: Getting redirected to respective home screens of Learner front end and Studio dashboard on Logging in using the credentials generated
user name : user@example.com
password : generated key

We followed the documentation steps
1. Enabled the SSH server
2. Configured Password-Based SSH Authentication
3. Restarted the SSH server for the new configuration

Checked the logs in lms and cms it shows successful login but unable to access platform.

Main concern: We want to view studio admin dashboard to move further please help...!
Thanks in advance

Hello @subramanyam.rao,

This is a known issue with edx itself and has been reported in the past in their forums. To solve this, please run the following commands:

sudo sed -i "s/DCS_SESSION_COOKIE_SAMESITE = 'None'/DCS_SESSION_COOKIE_SAMESITE = 'Lax'/g" /opt/bitnami/apps/edx/edx-platform/lms/envs/common.py
sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh restart

After that try to access your admin panel again, it should work properly.

Regards,
Francisco de Paz
