Scalix Forums

For some reason I can't log into the Web Admin page. I can log into the webmail portion using the sxadmin and user account I created but can't use either to login to the admin page. I tried making my regular user account an admin account too and it still won't let it in. Any ideas?

try using the full account name i.e. sxadmin@yourdomain.whatever

i was jsut using "sxadmin" and was going bonkers trying to figure out what I was doing wrong.

Yeah, I tried it with the @FQDN and it doesn't work either. Using sxadmin@FQDN works fine for webmail though. I can't seem to find where it saves the logs for that, is there a way for me to see what the Scalix logs are saying about the failed login?

The log is called caa.log and is in the /logs directory under your Tomcat directory, typically something like...

/home/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.x/logs

Another thing to verify is to make sure the ldap daemon is running on the machine -

#omstat - a

As stated already, your login into SAC should be FQDN...(sxadmin@host.domain.com), but more importantly to verify what this, run the following...

#omshowu -n sxadmin

You will see a value titled "Authentication ID", this is exactly what you need to log in as.

Let us know if you still need help.

Hi,
tlauder:
1. you should check the slapd server configured on you server
lsof -i:389
You need omslapd in the COMMAND column
2. you should check if you have the querymgr user.
omshowu -n querymgr
If not, reinstall the sac application and rerun
configurator --install --sac
Say "no" when it ask you if you already have create
query manager.

After succesfull logon modify user sxadmin (advanced tab, login id field)
for any reasonable id.

if you want to see logging sequence do the following:
1. add
loglevel 5
string to the /var/opt/scalix/sys/slapd.conf file.
2. restart omslapd
omoff -d 0 slapd
omon slapd
3. add
*.debug,mail.none /var/log/mydebug
string to the /etc/syslog.conf file
4. restart syslogd
service syslog restart
5. look at /var/log/mydebug file
tail -f /var/log/mydebug
6. try to logon into sac.
You should see omslapd debug info appeared in the /var/log/mydebug file.

Scalix command:
I believe you should revize installation guide in this part. Personally spent a lot of time
trying to log into sac.

Point taken. I have raised a request to have the documentation changed.

Thanks for the help, I didn't have the querymgr user so I added that and everything worked.

I can login to webmail with user sxadmin, but not sac. I have tried sxadmin,sxadmin@sombox2,sxadmin@perpetualent.com,sxadmin@somebox2.perpetualent.com.
