Perhaps learning by RTFM would be better? <grin> See 21.14. pveum - Proxmox VE User Manager for the answer. HINT: 'pam' is a realm in PVE.

bad mooded, eh ?!
Why do you waste these couple of minutes of your life and make the effort for posting a reply with no informative value.
In need of a "ventile" to let out the pressure or why this cynicism... ?

and curl

root@server:~# curl -k -d "username=root@pam&password=******" https://192.168.1.3:8006/api2/json/access/ticket
{"data":null}root@server:~#

I guess i just need to enable root@pam
....

so as thought, solution simple - but for n00bs - not

So as mentioned above: I'messed aroung with my Web-Gui and somehow deactivated my root login on the server.
to cut a long story short:

# nano /etc/pve/user.cfg

user:root@pam:0:0:::server@XXXXX.ch:::

user:root@pam:1:0:::server@XXXXX.ch:::

so set the 0 to 1 .... reboot/restart service, voila !!

cheers
