Can't authenticate Web GUI on TA924 2nd gen

Jump to solution

Whether I attempt to go in with HTTP or HTTPS with the
default admin/password credentials the login box does not accept my
entry.  On the 3rd attempt/failure it says not authorized.  Telnet
accepts my "adtran" password then after I enter
"enable'" my password of "password" is accepted
and so does the craft access using hyper terminal via RS-232  after I
enter "enable".  Is there a "Web (GUI only) access
password" entry hiding in the config file that I missed?

I did a

TA924#show run | i http

result was

ip http server

ip http secure-server

If your telnet password is stored under the "line telnet" section, it will only be valid for telnet.

Create a username/password pair under global configuration, then try that to log in to the GUI.

For example

config t

username bob password itsasecret

Then log into the GUI with user "bob" and password "itsasecret".

To make the same username/password pair work with telnet, do the following:

line telnet 0 4

login local-userlist

For security, I'd suggest using ssh and disabling telnet. Also create an ACL to trusted networks only and configure ssh, http, and https to only connect connections from that ACL. Also configure "service password-encryption" to prevent passwords from showing in plain text.
