Hi,

I just installed the mail gateway in a proxmox server directly from the latest template. However no matter what browser I try I cannot access the appliance through https://IPaddess. I can SSH to the appliance without any problems. Is this a reported bug or is there a default user name password that I am missing?

Thanks
 
Checked the syslog and found the following error:
May 13 04:51:12 pxmox1 proxwww[1107]: auth failed: Authentication failure at /usr/share/perl5/Proxmox/Utils.pm line 344.

Check the permissions on /etc/shadow.

Wrong permission:
Code:
s -l /etc/shadow
 -rw------- 1 root root 759 Jan 26 17:38 /etc/shadow


Howto fix:
Code:
chgrp shadow /etc/shadow 
chmod g+r /etc/shadow


Now it should look like this:
Code:
s -l /etc/shadow
 -rw-r----- 1 root shadow 759 Jan 26 17:38 /etc/shadow
