Hey guys,
I know holidays are here, so I dont expect response any time soon, but wanted to mention super odd R81.20 web UI behavior I encountered in the lab and see if anyone may have an idea how to fix this. So, yesterday, I tried to log in to web UI (which I had many times since I created the lab few weeks ago) and noticed it kept saying "permission denied". Now, I use exact same password in my lab for regular shell and expert mode, so password was 100% right, as ssh worked just fine.
I then followed below link, no luck.
https://pingtool.org/adding-new-admin-user-to-checkpoint-gaia-with-expert-permissions/
I also tried from clich -> set user admin password
That asked me to enter new pass, which I did, save config, no luck. Any idea why this would happen at all? I even tried rebooting, same issue.
Keep in mind, there was absolutely no changes done at all to this firewall in last 10 days and I logged into web UI many times in that time period.
Happy holidays everyone!
Andy
