My account works for other Wharton systems. Why can't I log in to webCafé?
1. To make sure your account works for other Wharton systems, test it by using the PLEASE LOG IN box on SPIKE. If you cannot log in there either and have typed your username correctly (without "WHARTON\" or "@wharton.upenn.edu) -- and webCafé shows an error page with a Login failed... message -- then it's probable that you are typing the wrong password. Read the password change/reset support article for advice on how to deal with that issue, and for more details on the correct login procedure consult this tutorial. 2. If your account does work for other Wharton systems, the most likely explanation is that you just recently created your Wharton account online. It is usually necessary to wait for up to 6 hours after creating your account for webCafé access to begin. Try logging in at My eRooms after sufficient time has passed. 3. If you are seeing the following error message:
Unfortunately, eRoom was unable to generate the page you requested, because you do not have rights to it. it means either that you do not have membership in a specific webCafé room, or that you do not have access rights to a specific folder or item within that room. For more information, read this article. 4. Finally, a persistent login difficulty not accompanied by a "login failed" error message may be related to browser or computer settings: Check that your browser is set up to allow features necessary to use webCafé, such as cookies and JavaScript. To check your browser configuration, use our self-test page: http://webcafe.wharton.upenn.edu/eRoomTest To enable any needed, but currently disabled, features in your browser, look in its Tools/Options or Edit/Preferences menu. If you use ad-blocking software, browser toolbars, or personal firewall software, configure them to allow webcafe.wharton.upenn.edu to be accessed freely as a "trusted site," including pop-ups (and to allow full access by ERClient7.exe if you use the eRoom plug-in software). Product names for these types of software include: If you make any of the configuration changes described above, clear your Web browser's cache before trying your login to webCafé again.
