Can't login in using FQDN to the webinterface

this may be a mailwatch issue but I'm asking here since EFA has done modifications to the entire thing... using the hyper-v image updated and has been working fine...

installed a new certificate last night (startssl.com) and during testing noticed that chrome complained about certificate name if I used just the host name in the url... https://spambox/ instead of https://spambox.domain.my/

good and well I thought and used the FQDN to try to log in... to my surprise, when I went to website it auto redirected to the bad login url...

https://spambox.domain.my/mailscanner/l ... or=baduser

I tried to log in again. but it wouldn't allow, just kept telling me "Bad Username or Password" ... I then tried to login using only hostname in the url... and after accepting the certificate error I could login just fine using https://spambox/mailscanner/login.php ...

Then I tried another browser (iexplore instead of Chrome) and ... well it seems this issue only happens in Chrome.

Anyone encountered this before? Or anything similar? I wouldn't mind too much except that the links in my emails always use FQDN so I need to edit them whenever I report a spam...

I was experiencing EXACTLY the same behavior. Previously-working FQDN access to my EFA system via Chrome was redirecting to the "baduser" page, but worked perfectly in IE and Firefox.

I noticed that there was an outstanding update to Chrome waiting to be installed. I let it install the update and restart Chrome (now running at version 55.0.2883.75 m) and EFA access worked as expected once again.

Hope this works for you too...
