DELL OMSA 9.3 Login Failed....connection error

I have been having issues with OMSA. I can log into manage the web server with the admin account. This server had OMSA running perfectly fine until we had a raid array fail. We reinstalled all the software and created a brand new raid array with new drives. I issued new certificates, added localhost:1311 to trusted sites, lowered all the permissions for the localhost domain. Tried Chrome, Brave and MSIE. I'm at a loss for what to do...

    Also, didn't log in with the initial pop up. Used every variant of localhost:1311, servername:1311, 10.0.0.xxx:1311, etc. Created another admin account, tried that. No go. Created new certificates, got those working so there is no certificate errors on MSIE. Still getting login errors. Ensured bios, lifecycle/idrac etc are all updated to the newest firmwares etc. I can't figure it out...any DELL mods got an idea?

    Hello, If you are not able to login to OMSA there could be one of the reasons listed below 1. OMSA services are not running 2.Connection problem To check if the OMSA services are running fine Linux: .Run # "srvadmin-services.sh status" Check if all the services are running fine (service status shows active ) Windows: Go to Services.msc check for DSM SA Connection Service ,DSM SA Data Manager, DSM SA Event Manager services are in running state. ESXI: /etc/init.d/sfcbd-watchdog status Please confirm if all the services are running ,if not running please start the services and try again to login . For more information please get back with OS Used, OMSA version, Server Used Thanks, Karthik #IWork4Dell


    Best regards,

    I have the same problem - running on Windows. I have checked the services you mention and only find DSM SA Connection Service. I do not find the others.

    What do you suggest?

    Hello EricSnyder526,

    Let me brief in.. 

    If you had seen only DSM SA Connection Service, believe you had installed OMSA webserver on a client system and this is not a server operating system.

    (OR)

    On the windows server operating system, only "webserver" is actually installed and not complete OMSA features are installed.

    What I would recommend further given your situation is :

    I would request to please try to repair the installation from the device manager or uninstall and install the complete OMSA / typical installation from the installer on the target windows server operating system.

    Post the successful install on the target server, please cross check if all the below services are running in the services.msc

    I would recommend you to take a look at "Troubleshooting" section of the OMSA user guide

    https://topics-cdn.dell.com/pdf/openmanage-server-administrator-v93_users-guide3_en-us.pdf

    Also, would suggest taking a look at the section "Server Administrator services" in the same document for having a brief idea on what are the services needed for making it work.

    I am sure you will get things working this way! Good luck

    Cheers

    Vivek

    We're having the same issue, on all our Dell servers. After entering our username/password, it immediately logs us out. 

    I tried re-installing OMSA, accessing locally and remotely, using a different browser etc. 

    I've been using this software for years with no issue. All of them have failed to log me in over the last couple of weeks. 

    I have a gut feeling a security update within Windows may have caused this as the software itself hasn't been adjusted.

    Vivek - When doing the forced reinstall I get the error:

    SYSTEMSMANAGEMENT:FileUtils::CreateDir. Failed to create directory apache-tomcat\conf

     

    And then I get the next error:

    SYSTEMSMANAGEMENT:CopyFileAction(): Failed to copy the file C:\Program Files\Dell

    SysMgt/apache-tomcat/conf/keystore.db to /apache-tomcat/conf/keystore.db

    I just rolled back the system updates and it did not help. Trying a forced reinstall now.

    I have done a forced reinstall and still have the same issue. I also only have one service showing up in the services: DSM SA Connection Service.

    Even with the forced install I did not end up with the other services.

    Hello Eric,

    First up, if you see only one service running, the installation is not a complete success on the target server.

    Now, instead of repair and force install, could you attempt to completely remove OMSA by uninstalling and then clear the registry entries for anything related to the error path that you mentioned - remove those entries? Then install freshly again. I also would recommend removing the existing JRE/JDK on the server for the time being.

    Appears there is some kind of corruption in the registry entries.

    The error text as appears seems to be related to the registry in apache - can you attempt to remove or clean those entries and uninstall corresponding software for time being.

    These would make the server come back to the baseline for OMSA installation further. Once OMSA is installed you can try installing other software back. I hope this would be of some pointer to clear up this issue. Please give it a try.

    Thanks

    Vivek
