[SOLVED] login failed for the web UI... password is correct but proxmox doesn't want to accept

[hugosxm]

Hi everybody,

I'm sorry for my english, i will do my best to explain my problem.

I have a fresh install of a debian wheezy ( debootstrap ) and just put proxmox packages on it... juste 1 machine, no cluster...

I followed the instructions of the official wiki website !

now when i try to login on the web UI i have this pop up : login failed ! please try again...

after some research on the forum, i tried to :

-change the password
-clear cache, cookies, change web navigator, change PC !
-update bios and ntp time...
#pvecm updatecerts --force
-completely reinstall proxmox ve
-dpkg-reconfigure pve-manager

and now i don't know what to do so i need your help !


this is my /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1       localhost
172.20.50.254   vcgeco.lan.geco-it.net  vcgeco pvelocalhost

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhost

~

this is the /etc/network/interfaces

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface eth2 inet dhcp

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet manual

iface eth1 inet manual

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
        address  172.20.50.254
        netmask  255.255.255.0
        gateway  172.20.50.1
        bridge_ports eth0
        bridge_stp off
        bridge_fd 0

this is tail of the syslog where we can find the proxy error message :

Hi, did you setup the firewall ? The web UI authentification use internal network to authenticate the user. I once block all connection exept port 22 and 8006 and authentification wasn't working anymore.
