3.06 Admin Password
I have installed ESRS VE 3.06 (had been using the Windows program for years). After going through the initial setup and logging into the WebUI to set the admin password. When I enter the password and click "Log on as admin" the portion of the page flashes and quickly says "Loading" but returns to the screen to set the admin password. I have tried deleting and redeploying the OVF and have had the same result. Has anyone seen this happen before?

We left the username set to "admin" during the installation. I can redeploy and change it if you think it might have something to do with what's going on. The password does meet the requirements and I do not get any error messages when I try to set it.

Have you tried a different browser like Firefox or Chrome?

Yes. I have tried this in IE11 (with and without compatibility mode), Chrome, and Firefox. Also tried it on another computer just in case it was an issue with my PC.

Hi, same issue here. My browser throws a JavaScript error (expected Expression, got '<'), likely as something was not found. Unfortunately, even the CLI alternative to reset the password does not work, as it tells me to use the gui for initial password setup.
Have you found out a solution to this issue?

Our solution: Tightly stick to the Install & Operations guide when going through the "YaST2 firstboot" screens. So we used on the interface a hostname with less than 8 characters, no hyphen, and put emc.com as search domain etc.
That magically helped. I cannot pinpoint exactly which of the fields was messing with the "Admin Password" routine....but for us, the cause was somewhere in these settings.

Hi Guys,
I Have the same issue with ESRSVE 3.04. Am following the steps and able to login into Webui using root but no response after entering admin password. Tried redploying it many times. Tried different versions of ESRS like 3.04, 3.06, 3.08 and 3.10 using different browsers but getting same error.
Not able to figure out what the exact issue is ?

You set the administrative user as admin and not something different? I assume you're following the password specifications on the right side of the screen? And there are no messages saying the password doesn't meet the specifications or that they don't match? After you enter the password but before you click Log on as admin, click the Password Reveal button and confirm you are entering a password that meets the specifications.
