Invalid monitoring website login - also after resetting PW

[Matthew1 (Mat)]

omd version: 2.0.0p11.cre:
OS version:Debian 10

Error message:Invalid Login

Suddenly the login in the monitoring webinterface does not work anymore, I tried to reset the cmkadmin password but without any success.

I tried to reset the omd password of the cmkadmin user account but I get alway invalid credentials or authentication failure:

Has anyone another tip what else I can do?

Num lock or other keyboard language isn’t active…

Hi,
don’t mix up the users:

1. User srvmon: Linux user without a password
2. User cmkadmin: User for the web GUI

If you need to change the password of cmkadmin:

1. Switch into the root account on the CLI
2. Switch into srvmon: omd su srvmon
3. Change the password: htpasswd -m etc/htpasswd cmkadmin
4. Try to login as cmkadmin in your webbrowser

Thank you karl for the detailed instructions.

I tried this already but I can’t login to the webbrowser with the cmkadmin user and the new password don’t know why from one day to the other this happened…

I found the solution, I dont know why but the user cmkadmin was locked out (fortunatly we have had another user so I was able to unlock the user) Now it works again!

Thank you @kdeutsch for your help anyway!
