BIG-IP Virtual Edition Configuration Utility log in failures
I have just installed my BIG-IP Virtual Edition trial and I am having trouble logging in to the Configuration Utility.
I have configured the VM and can connect my browser to the Configuration Utility and I get the login screen, but it keeps telling me there is an Authentication problem. I get
Authentication required!
This server could not verify that you are authorized to
access the URL "/tmui/logmein.html" ....
...
I've tried the default login and password of 'admin' and 'admin' and 'admin' and 'default' I've see both pairs mentioned online but neither works for me.
What am I missing?

Hi, did you try to connect through SSH with root user?
- jdehart1_321173Nimbostratus
Yes, I can ssh in as root. I just can't connect via the web interface.

Did you try to change admin password in tmsh?

Thanks for the help. I just tried that but got the same result.
Is there an IP address restriction somewhere? When I set up the network config I had to use an address other than the default 192.168.1.245.

I'm still trying to get this working. Here is a little more info. I get this in /var/log/httpd/httpd_errors when I try to log in to the Configuration Utility:
Jun 11 12:51:22 localhost err httpd[30527]: [error] [client 192.168.122.1] Login failed because of invalid referer header., referer: http://192.168.122.194/tmui/login.jsp\

And here is the full text of the error message that is given in the pop-up window:
Authentication required!
This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the URL "/tmui/logmein.html". You either supplied the wrong credentials (e.g., bad password), or your browser doesn't understand how to supply the credentials required.
In case you are allowed to request the document, please check your user-id and password and try again.
Error 401

Some progress this morning. It appears to require incoming connections to be HTTPS.
