I have PRTG fully configured and working, now I just need to disable SSL so I can get integrate it with my reverse proxy via NGINX. However, once I disable SSL, my username and password no longer work. The logs indicate an "anonymous" account was used to log in.

Example:

  1. 348270 2021-03-09 19:05:48 192.168.1.5 "anonymous" 192.168.1.3 2548 GET /systemsetup.htm tabid=1 200 "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:86.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/86.0"

Re-enabling SSL lets me log in again, but that doesn't help me.

Has anyone else run into this before?

Hello,
SSL can be disabled at "Setup > System Administration > User Interface". This article might be of interest as well.
Disabling SSL shouldn't have any influence on the user login and I couldn't reproduce this issue with the latest PRTG version 21.1.66. Which PRTG version are you using currently?

I'm using version 21.1.66.1623.

I've disabled SSL via "Setup > System Administration > User Interface", and enabled via the PRTG Administrator.exe as I am unable to log back in via the web interface.

Is there an error message displayed while trying to login using the Web interface? If so, could you send us a screenshot to support@paessler.com?

In addition please also send us a "support bundle" containing the log files from PRTG, so we can take a closer look. For this, please open the support dialog "Contact Support" in the lower right corner of the WebUI.

Kind Regards,

Hi Sergey,

Could you please elaborate on the issue you are facing? Do you mean the PRTG UI is not displayed after disabling SSL? If yes, could you please check if you are open with the correct URL? Without SSL, the address should be http://serveraddress


With kind regards,
