Having Login Issues

  • First, let me give appreciation for OMV. Great system and I've really enjoyed using it, and showing it to others. Thanks for all your hard work!


    I have DNS set up my network and omv.mylocaldomain..com set for the server. It navigates to it with no issue, and this DNS information is also set into the OMV server. I have not had any issue with it for the last several years. Now, however, if I navigate to the server with the DNS name it goes to the login page as usual, but will not let me log in. Gives a 400 error "Incorrect username or password". I navigate to it via it's IP and type in the exact same credentials and it logs me in just fine.


    Checking the logs, it shows one attempt with a bad usr/pwd and then shows logging in working. Both have the source IP of my local machine as the same. The only difference is that on the first try I have http://omv.mylocaldomain.com in the navigation bar and on the next it shows http://192.168.1.36 in the bar (neither are the actual names/IPs).


    Any ideas on why this is happening? It only started in the last month or so.

    Approved the thread.
  • I'm not sure what omv-firstaid is. Can you guide me to where that might be?


    I'm not locked out of the system. If I use the IP address I can log in just fine. The issue is that I can't log in if I use the DNS name of the server.

  • Google told me about omv-firstaid. That was not the issue. Anyone have any ideas?

  • I think I'm mainly wondering if OMV normally will only allow access from the same subnet, or with only certain DNS information set, or something like that. The account is fine, and I can sign in with the admin account with no issues if I use the IP. If I use the DNS name, the logon screen shows up, but will not allow any account to log on. I know the account itself is fine.

    Is any useful error message displayed in the UI? Have you checked /var/log/auth.log?

  • The log entry only shows the IP the client machine was on and that it was an incorrect username/password. The next entry (from after I connect to the IP instead of DNS) shows the same client IP and successful login.

  • Something odd is definitely happening on it. Now I can't bring up the login page at all. The page for the File Browser is working just fine, and the shares are working fine, but the login page won't come up.


    I guess I'll look more at it once I get home. Thanks for trying, all who did.

  • FWIW - everything is working perfectly except for the login screen. I'm not having any luck getting in, so I'm just going to back it up to my other file server and just redo it.
