Devices | Panorama | Add User (in API key section) issue

L4 Transporter

Install details below, but I haven't used my Expedition install in a while and I went to start another migration, but the Panorama user I was using wasn't working.  The account locked so I just changed the password to avoid any issues there (new password meets all complexity requirements as defined in Panorama | Setup | Management tab).

 

When I try to add it as an auth type username & password, I get an error:

 

Remote Exception

Please change your password.

 

I've changed it several times but it still throws that error.

 

Ubuntu 16.04

Expedition v1.1.68

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks!

That failed (invalid credentials), however it then occurred to me to try to login to the GUI as mt_admin.  So, all this time I had been changing the password (even deleting & re-creating the username in Panorama with commits in between).  Well, I login to the GUI and it says I need to change the password (60-day expiry).  Apparently, it was stuck as an expired account.

 

Thanks for all of your suggestions!

Hello @justamoment 

 

Go ahead and try upgrading your expedition client and see if you still have an issue. The current version is 1.1.113.

Unfortunately, that didn't work - same error.

Hello @justamoment 

 

Can you share a screenshot of what you're seeing? This is coming from the expedition server? If for some reason the username/password isn't working you can always add in the API key but I would like to see the screenshot I think it will be helpful.

Yes, on Expedition within the Panorama device, in the Authentication API Keys section where you add mt_user etc. as a user.

Also, how would I get the API key?
