CS1000E Rls 6.00 - Unable to log into UCM Locally

[sl1input]

I had a requirement to reinstall sw onto one of my CPPM sig server cards (to change from member to backup UCM) which previously had rls 6.0 loaded onto the hard drive from factory.

Originally this was all working fine and i could log into the card via CLI or web and all ok. This was originally setup as a member server but i need it to be a secondary UCM.

There may have been an easier way but i decided to reinstall sw from compact flash - i can now log into CLI with nortel and root but not from the web interface.

I have come across this elsewhere with install from Compact Flash but yet to fix.

CPPM has been upgraded to BIOS v 18 and CMOS has been reset.

I am logging onto the card via its FQDN locally to setup the security config i.e. set as a secondary UCM. However i can not log in.

Any one seen this before?

is the CPPM call server joined to the domain ?

It's only dialtone-VZ

Call server not installed at this stage. This is just a CPPM sig server. When i reinstalled the sig server linux sw on the CPPM i can not log into the web page via FQDN or IP. I can log into the CLI however with nortel and root.

 

[askman2010]

you try to login by local login?

Http://xx.xx.xx.xx/local-login

Yes when i browse to FQDN or IP of my CPPM SS it redirects me to

Http://xx.xx.xx.xx/local-login

automatically.

I can log into my other sig servers from their FQDN locally but not the one that has has s/w reinstalled from compact flash.

Now working !!!

My password was not liked by UCM, however it worked on the CLI.

Password was a word repeated twice with special characters and caps.

UCM must not like a work repeated twice, however linus CLI is ok with it.

Changed to word not repeated and all ok.

Good to know. I also learned the hard way not to use an ! at the end of a password. It worked fine on the UCM, NRS, and Sig server logins but when I tried to log into the CS CLI it locked up the TTY port and required an ini to get it working. Evidently Linux interperts the exclamation as a command to do something. After changing the password via UCM I could login to the CLI.

 

[askman2010]

try to login by UCM password

My CPPM SS was not registered with UCM domain at this stage. I could not even log in to do initial security setup i.e. Primary, Backup or Member configuration.

The probem was the local password i had choosen.

It is clear that the password criteria differs slightly between CLI and web.

The use of name repeated twice does not meet the web security level. Use of ! at the end of password have also been seen to cause issue.
