*BUMP* Manager.c: 127.0.0.1 failed to authenticate as ‘admin’ EVERY 3 SECONDS!

Running Ubuntu 14.04LTS with Asterisk 13 and FreePBX 13

Ran in all updates to date and system appeared to be working fine…until I rebooted the server!

Now I get the following in the Asterisk console continuously…as in once every 3 seconds!!!

Manager.c: 127.0.0.1 failed to authenticate as ‘admin’

The authentication issue would suggest a password has been changed somewhere but it doesn’t tell me where and I can log into the FreePBX manager without issue. I haven’t changed any passwords since install so can only wonder that maybe one of the updates reset one???

Any tips on how to debug?

Many thanks in advance.

Mike

PS - This is a vanilla install… no trixbox or FOP… just a manual install with the latest updates installed.

I am no expert but I would go to advanced settings and resubmit your asterisk username and password.

Thanks for the suggestion… I tried that but still the same. :frowning:

Not sure if the Log extract from FreePBX is more useful than the Asterisk console info…???

BUMP

No-one got any ideas as to what part of the system might try to authenticate locally using the admin username every 3 seconds?

I’ve checked the AMI admin creds in amportal.conf and they match those in manager.conf…I don’t know of anywhere else that uses admin???

Help much appreciated.

Cheers

I would try checking your config files as described here.

Thanks but I have already found that post. As posted, I have already checked that the manager.conf and amportal.conf creds match and they do.

Are there any other places where a username of ‘admin’ is used?
