Cannot login to ntopng.

I was able to set my ntopng password using redis-cli, following the method from an old locked thread.

SSH into your pfSense and then run:

echo -n NewPassword | md5

(replace "NewPassword" with whatever you want for a password).
That will show you the MD5 hash of your new password, which is what you have to actually use in the next step. Copy the output into your clipboard and paste into the redis-cli set command in the next step. For my example "NewPassword" the MD5 output is 70c04e53f3216a44d9b4f3e517f9b45c .

Then:

redis-cli
set ntopng.user.admin.password 70c04e53f3216a44d9b4f3e517f9b45c

After that, you should be able to log in with NewPassword or whatever you chose, using the "Access ntopng" page (Diagnostics->ntopng).

I am not sure if this is persistent across reboots, as I haven't rebooted yet.

I have the same issue on my SG-3100 with ntopNG - and the workaround from damien_vancouver works for me.

Any idea what the underlying issue is?

It seems like the set password form in pfSense for ntopNG is broken somehow?

I have the exact same issue on 2.4.4-RELEASE and workaround from damien_vancouver is the only thing that works for me.

Hi ! Thanks for the workaround unfortunately the password is changed back after a reboot. Does anybody have a more permanent solution ?

Thanks

[Edit]Nevermind, I uninstalled the package, reinstalled it and set up the password using Edge. Now I can login (even in chrome)[/Edit]

Also had to use damien_vancouver workaround. Thanks damien_vancouver

This worked for me without having to use command line.
First - do not change PW from pfsense. Turn on ntopng , save and got to web page
Use default user/password: admin/admin. It should aks you to change from default password.
Once submitted should go to dashboard page.

If you already changed PW from FW, then uninstall (remember to unmark box to retain data and reinstall.

@damien_vancouver This solved the problem for me.
Thanks!

The solution from @damien_vancouver also worked for me. I had the same problem described in this thread. In PFSense GUI, under ntopng settings....clear all files, data, graphs. Unchecked the box at the top of the page for "retain data, files".

One modification, when setting up ntopng on the setting page to get past that form set the password as "admin" which is the default for ntopng when you go to login to it for the 1st time.

@damien_vancouver's fix also worked for me.
