Web-GUI access - new admin - no records

paulio

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 lighttpd

Though 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
