Admin Page Login loop
Got a ReadyNAS 2100 V2 on OS 6. For some reason the last day or two, whenever I try and get into the Admin page on Safari on Mac, it says Your Admin Session Has expired, with some description why und...
According to this thread, the solution is downgrading to 10.6.4:
I just tried downgrading from 10.6.9, and on Mac Safari (latest), the login loop issue still persists. Clearing browser storage (cache, cookies, local storage), has no effect.
What has worked for me is using Safari Incognito mode. Have not tested with other browsers.

I have cleared the Safari site for the IP address, and the Passwords app as well. Does not seem to make a difference. But the Safari Private window worked....... today.

I did have the correct password saved in Safari (technically, in the Mac Passwords app). But I just now deleted it, and re-deleted all browser storage, and the admin login loop issue is still happening (on 6.10.4).
So those of you that have downgraded to 6.10.4, do you have to enter your password manually every time? Because this would be the same end result as using a private/incognito window with 6.10.9.
I am wondering - what happens if you enable "HTTP Admin" in the NAS HTTP settings, and then access the web ui with http instead of https?
Obviously this is a bad idea if you forward http to the NAS in your router. But it might be an acceptable workaround if the NAS is only accessible on your local network or your vpn.

Well this is interesting. I already had both HTTP & HTTPS access enabled in NAS settings. I also re-verified that my admin password is not saved in Safari/Passwords.
Regular Safari window:HTTP: admin login loop bug.
HTTPS: Able to able to login, but also, was NOT prompted for my password. Furthermore, when I logout, the page refreshes and I am immediately logged right back in, with no action taken.
Private Safari window:
HTTP: prompted for password, can login. Upon logout, the password prompt comes up immediately (indicating the page is refreshing on it's own)
HTTPS: am prompted for password, and on logout, it refreshes automatically.
Taking a look in the developer console, I can see this error that happens with each page reload:
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 (Forbidden). http://NAS.IP,ADDRESS/dbbroker
And in the Network tab, I can see two Javascript files are not loaded (frontview.js and csrf.js).
