Just as a bit of an explanation, authentication is required because giving someone a Sage prompt is as powerful as giving them a shell prompt (though no one should be able to sniff localhost if you're the only one on it). By default it creates a one-time token and passes that in the URL it sends to the default browser. When the page is accessed, it makes sure the tokens match and if they do logs you in. However, this token is only good for a single login, so if you try and open the notebook in a different browser it requires explicit authentication. > Can I tell Sage which browser it should use? It just uses the default browser you have, whatever the OS uses to open links (the same as typing "open http://..."; in the terminal on a mac). This should be a setting one can set, or even just pass into the "notebook()" function. -Robert --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
