FortiManager local admin 'Rejected' login for Eve-NG deployment

Hi everyone,

I have this issue with a FortiManager I have deployed in Eve-NG. It’s just used for labbing and playing around with config etc, so its intended to be very simple at the moment.

It’s a brand new deployment and licensed using the free license with FortiCloud. Yesterday I was able to log into the manager with no problem, worked fine and then I started experiencing the issue with logging in and getting the ‘Rejected’ message. I have done the basic config such as routing and admin access.

The same creds work via the CLI. It is a local account, with no trusted hosts or 2FA.

My next thoughts are to just wipe the config and redo the deployment as there is nothing of value on it at the moment and it is probably just easier, but thought it would be worth asking and getting this on the community incase anyone else has the issue.
