Hi,

I added a new user to Proxmox, and gave it the administrator role (permissions) to begin with, I will narrow it down later, aim was to mimc root user. But though it seems to work intially, almost instantly it gives me the error "No ticket (401".

I guess I must have missed something, or the new user is not registered in PVE correctly, but what could cause this? And more importantly, how can I correct this? Point being, I want to disable the user "root".

Once it has given the error for the new user, I then get this even for root. Restart does not help unfortunately.

Edit: And I get constantly logged out... I managed to remove the new user I created, but still the same thing...

Any idea? I have tried the docs, but haven't found a probable cause there (yet). How can I regain control via GUI, I have SSH access luckily.

Thanks

so strange. Under permissions I had another entry against a role PVEAdmin. After removing that, and readding the user, things seem to start working again. When adding 2FA to it, I now got a password prompt. I did not the first time...
 
What realm are you talking about? There are user@pam and user@pve. pve realm is just for the webUI/API. user@pam is systemwide but you need to manually create the linux user first (using adduser with CLI), then add it with the same name to PVE.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that. I use the @pam realm.
