Manager.c: 127.0.0.1 failed to authenticate as 'admin'?

I’m seeing this message every 3s in my logfiles. Any idea how to get rid of it?

One of your “admin” users in one of your config files has the wrong password.

It’s a vexing problem that just takes time to search and find. If you have access to the console, you can start with a “grep admin /etc/asterisk/* /etc/asterisk//” and see what pops up. Chances are, one of the files that has a “user=admin”-like line in it will give you the clue you need.

Thanks for the heads up. Lots of interesting things in that grep search. I did notice that I had created a gui user log in using the name admin and a password other than the manager.conf password. I wonder if that could do it.

I don’t think those are related. Did you install any third party apps? Some apps require manager access such as FOP2, outcall, etc.
