Sign-in
The sign-in page answers “who may see this Tayga?” It appears only when your operator has turned authentication on. Tayga has one account, set in its configuration; there are no roles. With authentication off, which is the default, there is no sign-in and /login just opens the Stories page.
To turn it on, see Authentication.
Signing in
Section titled “Signing in”-
Open any Tayga page. Without a session, you are sent to
/login, and the page remembers where you were going. -
Enter the Username (the field has focus already) and the Password.
-
Select Sign in or press Enter. The button says “Signing in…” while it waits.
-
Tayga opens the page you were going to, or the Stories page.
The page has no rail or header, only the form and a theme switch in the top right corner.
When sign-in fails
Section titled “When sign-in fails”The form shows the reason in red under the fields, clears the password and puts the cursor back in it; the username stays. The card shakes briefly, unless your system asks for reduced motion.
| Message | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Wrong username or password. | The credentials do not match. |
| Too many attempts, try again in N s | Too many failed attempts from your address: Tayga allows 5 failed attempts per 5 minutes, then waits. |
| Cannot reach Tayga. Check the connection and try again. | The browser could not reach the API. |
| Sign-in failed (HTTP N). Try again. | Any other error from the API. |
Your session
Section titled “Your session”A session lasts 12 hours by default; your operator can change that with auth.session_ttl. When it expires, or is revoked, the next request sends you to the sign-in page, and back to the same page after you sign in again. If you open /login while you are signed in, you go straight on.
The user menu
Section titled “The user menu”With authentication on, the header ends with a chip showing your username (only the icon on a phone). Select it to open the menu:
- Signed in as your username;
- Sign out: ends the session and opens the sign-in page. If it fails, the menu says “Couldn’t sign out, try again” and you stay signed in.
The command palette has the same Sign out action.
URL parameters
Section titled “URL parameters”| Parameter | Values | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
next |
a path on the same Tayga, such as /map?service=payment |
Where to go after signing in. Anything that is not a path on the same site is ignored, and you land on the Stories page. |
- Bookmark pages as usual: when your session has expired, the bookmark goes through the sign-in page and then to the page itself.
- Use a password manager: the fields are marked as username and current password, so it can fill them in.
