TNSR CLI access denied for basic config-related commands

[gigabitguru]

I just did a fresh install of TNSR 4.18.0-305 on KVM and cannot seem to run any configuration commands in the Clixon CLI. The required services are running via tnsrctl status (vpp, clixon-backend), but I keep getting the following error for almost any command run in the TNSR/Clixon CLI:

Get configuration: application access-denied default deny

Commands tried that should show something:

show configuration
show interface

It seems there's a permission that needs to be tweaked but I'm not finding anything in the docs, and other seemingly intuitive commands around acl seem to not be helpful. Any insight on what config needs to be tweaked to get out of this state would be greatly appreciated!

@litmaj0r said in TNSR CLI access denied for basic config-related commands:

TNSR 4.18.0-305

First, what is TNSR 4.18.0-305? The current tnsr version is 21.07.1-1. (Ah you're talking about the underlying CentOS kernel version).

Are you logging in as the tnsr user? If not, give that a shot. Else run clixon_cli under sudo.

@derelict Derf, yep I mentioned the kernel version. The TNSR version is 21.07.0-1.

Anyway, sudo clixon_cli worked to get the commands operational (and that's using my custom user, not tnsr)

[Now I see the part of the docs that caused this issue, since I created a custom user during install:
Default TNSR Permissions where only root and tnsr users are allowed into the CLI.

For others' reference, here's how to fix that (once in the CLI via sudo):

configure t
nacm group admin
member USERNAME
exit
configuration copy running startup
exit

More info on NACM config here in the docs

After that, just entering clixon_cli without sudo will work just fine...
