Test environment login problems
Posted: Wed Dec 02, 2020 4:25 am
Hello! I'm having recurring problems with logging in to my XI test environment, created by cloning a production XI system into a sandboxed network zone.
One obvious problem this has created was authentication. The production system authenticates login attempts using one of 3 Active Directory servers that are unreachable from the sandbox. Using the nagiosadmin local account I logged in and changed the address of the AD server to one that's available from the sandbox and this, for a while, seemed to fix my problems.
Unfortunately the next day users of the test environment reported being unable to log in. They get stuck on the login page, after inputting their credentials the page either reloads with no error message or gets stuck loading forever. This is true both in the case of local and AD-authenticated accounts.
Could this possibly be caused by the SSL certificate not matching the test environment's domain name? I have to bypass a browser warning when opening the login page. My XI version is 5.6.12 running on CentOS 7
