Why can't I log into the graylog web interface?

younussenn · February 15, 2021, 2:56pm

Hello there,
I have completed the graylog setup. I installed on Vmware on Ubuntu 20.04 version. Now everything seems ok, but when I want to login to the web interface with a username and password, “Invalid credentials, please verify them and retry.” I am getting your error.
What did I do wrong?
My graylog-server config file:

indent preformatted text by 4 spaces
is_master = true
node_id_file = /etc/graylog/server/node-id
password_secret = C8TfTuUCdvogNntBE6fHzrugrLApfVZE0M2V6gJlB1V6EnhqeowbHFXNxCvvVvK0L1OQy2SvhFLMEntD09YOp973TETWJCCY
root_username = admin
root_password_sha2=8d969eef6ecad3c29a3a629280e686cf0c3f5d5a86aff3ca12020c923adc6c92  -
bin_dir = /usr/share/graylog-server/bin_dir
data_dir = /var/lib/graylog-server/bin_dir
plugin_dir = /usr/share/graylog-server/plugin_dir
htpp_bind_address = 127.0.0.1:9000

My graylog logfile:

https://docs.graylog.org/en/4.0/pages/getting_started/configure.html

Did you generate the password_secret = using pwgen -N 1 -s 96

And the root_password_sha2 = using echo -n “Enter Password: " && head -1 </dev/stdin | tr -d ‘\n’ | sha256sum | cut -d” " -f1

It’s different if you used the Appliance provided by Graylog. Sounds like you did NOT use that though.

Thank you, Zach.

root_password_sha2 = echo -n 123456 && head -1 </dev/stdin | tr -d ‘\n’ | sha256sum | cut -d” " -f1

Is this true?

I generated pasword_secret with pwgen -N 1 -s 96 and I generated root_password_sha2 with echo -n 123456 && head -1 </dev/stdin | tr -d ‘\n’ | sha256sum | cut -d” " -f1. And I putted to server.conf file. And then restart graylog-server.
I made the setup according to graylog document steps. Graylog-server service is running actively. But it still gives an error when logging into the web interface with the username “admin” and password “123456”.

I solved problem. If you are having the problem I am having, try this:

echo -n 123456 | sha256sum | cut -d" " -f1

I posted my problem on the Freenode graylog channel and the nickname Nihlander suggested it to me. I created the password with this and was able to enter the graylog interface. Thank you very much Nihlander.
