[SOLVED]Web interface user login
« on: March 06, 2013, 10:25:02 am »
HI,

I am running version 3, fully patched. this is a fairly new installation. for some reason I am unable to login via the web interface. I can login with ssh and locally on the machine.

My question is to which group must a user belong to login with the web interface? I have no "admin" group as suggested by some threads.

any help would be appreciated

thanks

Hi, Wilhelmdup

By default on the web interface only the user created at the time of install can login.
No other user can login.

Best regards
Bogdan

if you can connect via ssh and have sudo capability you can change the password for the "Admin" (and by Admin i mean the username you used in the installation)

You can login the webinterface with ANY account that is member of the 'admin' group.

If you have installed Zentyal packages on top of Ubuntu 12.04 Server, the admin group does not exist. You have to create the group first manually:
Quote
sudo groupadd admin

Then add an existing user to the group:
Quote
sudo usermod -a -G admin <username>
