I've installed ovirt several times on a fresh machine from scratch. I've had no problems with the install however I'm unable to login via the web console using the assigned password entered at the time of the install. On the last 3 tries I've kept the password simple to insure that I was not entering the assigned password incorrectly. I continued tp get with each install the message:

Unable to log in. Verify your login information or contact the system administrator.

I've checked the install log for errors and not found any. While trying to keep the password simple I was warned about the simplicity password but decided to continue because of previous attempts were not successful. are there any addtitional log that I can view to help with this issue?

Perhaps check /var/log/ovirt-engine/engine.log. Perhaps try resetting your password with 'ovirt-aaa-jdbc-tool', e.g.: https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/administration_guide/index.html#sect-Adm... https://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2015-November/035918.html Perhaps try logging in with some simple script running from inside the engine machine, to make sure it's not a network/browser/whatever issue. See here some examples: https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine-sdk/tree/master/sdk/examples You can try one of the simpler/shorter ones that include 'sdk.Connection', e.g. list_tags.py . Download it, edit as needed, copy to the engine machine. It expects a file 'ca.pem' in the current directory, which you can copy from /etc/pki/ovirt-engine/ca.pem . Then try to run it there.

Is there possibly a bug in the install process that has a work around?

I am not aware of such a bug. It does not mean that there are none, of course :-). Good luck and Best regards, -- Didi
