Admin Page logon loop

I've deployed a FortiManager 5.4.5 VM in my Hyper-V test environment and every time I logon I always get sent back to the logon page.

I have tried changing the password in the CLI (locally on the VM) and logging on with that but it still has the same issue - I cannot login.

What is strange is that when I present the wrong credentials it tells me they are wrong, however when I enter the correct ones I am looped back around to the login page.

I've tried Chrome and IE and it has the same issue.

I'm stuck and frustrated! Does anyone have any tips for browser configuration or have seen this before and know the fix?

Hi Tom, Does it happens when you are login through the HTTP only? It works ok with HTTPS, right? Perhaps http-redirect is disabled?

Try to enable it if it disabled: #config sys admin setting #set admin-https-redirect enable # end

Cheers,

Thanks for the reply, Tsvetan.

It seems the auto redirect is enabled by default - something I hadn't noticed until your post. Therefore when I launched the page I was automatically directed to https.

I have used your commands to disable the https redirection, there to test on http to see if that helps but sadly I am still in a loop.

Any other tips or tricks would be appreciated!
