Can log in by CLI, but not GUI

Richard,

when you try to access the Web Interface, what erro do you have? The page is not displayed?

Sorry, meant to post something sooner to say what the situation was, but it's been a long couple of days and it slipped my mind.

Apparently there is a bug in the HTTP patch where it can't be applied to MR1.1 systems. That's what caused the issue.

What I was getting was cli access, but the gui login page displayed, but kept on saying login denied when entering the credentials.

Try to reset the credential from CLI using option 2 and then 1.

I'm actually having the same problem, it worked fine yesterday from both CLI and GUI but today logging in to the GUI I get Login Failed. I tried resetting the default admin password several times and while the new password works for the CLI I still get Login Failed in the GUI. I'm using IE 11, Edge, and Chrome, all have the same problem.

Pete, this is very strange. Maybe you locked you out using a policy rule or wrong device access.

Type the following command from console:

system appliance_access enable

and then try to access the XG via GUI.

If it works, check device access and reset the password from GUi then reboot.

My issue was caused by running the HTTP proxy patch whilst running MR1.1. They are not compatible at the moment. The way round it was to boot the standard firmware from the cli whilst connected using a serial lead.

All system appliance_access enable seemed to do was shut down all traffic on my WAN interface without warning :( (thankfully a reboot fixed that), still not able to log into the GUI. I don't have any patches installed that i'm aware of, I just set this up yesterday and set up a few port forward rules so far, and those appear to all still be working.

Pete,

try this:

See if resetting the password using the SF loader does the trick.

No luck with that way either. It changed the password for the local console back to admin but still get Login Failed on the web GUI.

Ok, this is strange. On a whim I decided to shut it down completely and cold boot and now I can log back into the GUI with the default password. I changed it and the new password is working now - for now.
