Nextcloud public share: Missing password
After upgrading from Nextcloud 13 to 14, someone told me they could not access files in on of our public, password protected, Nextcloud shares.
I tried it myself and saw the same problem: After entering the password to the share, the gallery page and the first couple of images would load. The rest of the images were not visible. When reloading the page, I had to provide the password again.
I upgraded to Nextcloud 15 in the hope that it would solve the error, but it did not. I only got into more trouble and had to manually fix IMAP login after upgrading.
Symptoms
-
The gallery index page loads .../index.php/apps/gallery/files.public/list?location=&mediatypes=image/png;image/jpeg;image/gif;image/x-xbitmap;image/bmp&features=&etag&token=deadbeefcafe
-
At least the first image loads, but not all (/index.php/apps/gallery/preview.public/2342?width=400&height=200&token=deadbeefcafe)
-
All other images return a HTTP 401 status code and the following JSON:
{"message":"Missing password","success":false}
Solution
When using a private browser window, it worked.
It also began to work when deleting all cookies via the browser developer console.
