Web-GUI access - new admin - no records
-
Hi,
I've recently taken over admin for a company that are using pfsense for their firewall.
I do not know pfsense at all, and no-one there knows anything about how it was set up, & there is no documentation.
I have root access to the server, and what I need to know is:How do I find out which port the web-gui was set up to listen on?
How do I find out which users have been set up?
How do I change their passwords?I'm assuming that one of the users will be 'admin', but again there is no record of what the password is.
Can anyone help here please? :'(
Many thanks,
Paul. -
The root password and the admin password are the same. Any normal BSD/*nix commands work. For webgui access, probably on port 80 or 443. Try netstat -nap tcp and see what is listening.

Many thanks - I'll give it a try. I'd tried 80, 8080, and a few others. I was hoping that the port would be written in a config file somewhere.
-
it is written in /cf/conf/config.xml. I would try port 443 (https) also, if you haven't already.

This will show you for sure the ports that the web service is listening on:
sockstat | grep lighttpdThough as others have mentioned it may also be in /conf/config.xml
You can also check in /var/etc/lighty-webConfigurator.conf like so:
# grep server\.port /var/etc/lighty-webConfigurator.conf server.port = 443
