Unable to Login via web console (novnc + virt-viewer)

[Atharva Deshmukh]

Hi. I am trying to use the web console to login into the CT's.. But the login from console fails as if the password is wrong. Tried this on different browsers and also on Mac and Linux. Same issue everywhere. I can login into the CT's using ssh. It seems the console issue to me. Any fixes?

Version: 4.4-1/eb2d6f1e

do you have a special character in your password which is non-ASCII? if you do, you are probably hit by https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1153

note that the novnc console does not seem to support such input in any case, for spice you should be able to reset your password (using "pct exec CTID passwd") and then it should work.

No. The password is set to password. So, no special characters and all ASCII. Any logs to check? I am monitoring /var/log/pveproxy/access.log

Here is the output
