I'm 100% sure all the details are correct but i keep getting Login to Proxmox Host failed.

What version of PVE are you running?

[jesperschreuder]

Proxmox Virtual Environment 5.1-41?

[danhunsaker]

Ok, I'll investigate that. This library was written around PVE 3, so some things may have changed a bit since then, and we may need to adjust the code accordingly.

Hi, i'm debugging with Proxmox VE 7.2

after an analysis, i've found the problem is simply that
setrawcookie("PVEAuthCookie", $this->login_ticket['ticket'], 0, "/");
is setting cookie for the actual domain, not for the public url of the PVE

You can try with somthing similar :
setrawcookie("PVEAuthCookie", $this->login_ticket['ticket'], 0, "/", $this->hostname,true,false);

but the problem is that the browsers doesn't allow to set cookie for other domains.

I've solved this and i'm writing a patched version but this is "almost" the solution but i dont like that the cookie allow also to login to 8006 interface. I think is better to connect a Vnc client to the PVE vncproxy

Closing off this 5-6 y.o. discussion now. Improved error logging is in the works in Pull #42 - feel free to contribute.

re: @lucapiccio comments about anti-CSRF protections etc, yes, and in PVE v8.0 onwards this is mandatory now.
