Admin local and cloud access blocked – only End User UI visible

Hello openHAB team,

My admin access on https://home.myopenhab.org is blocked.
I can only log in as an end user – the Main UI only shows “Floorplan” and “About & Help”.
Therefore, I have no access to the admin settings or the Cloud Connector.

My admin email: nh@cumlosen.de>
I have a backup admin token.
Raspberry Pi 3 - openHAB 4.3.0

Could you please reactivate my admin access or provide instructions on how to restore admin access?

Thank you very much for your help!

Norbert

It’s not clear specifically what you are talking about. There are two sets of users involved here.

https://home.myopenhab.org takes you straight to your openHAB instance. You manage the users and roles for your openHAB instance, not the cloud server. You set up a user with an admin role when you first set up OH and that’s the user being asked for when you click on the shield with the lock icon at the bottom left of MainUI.

You can manage these users on your instance through the karaf console. See Runtime Commands | openHAB.

These users are completely separate and independent of the users you use to log into the cloud server (i.e. when you go to https://home.myopenhab.org and it asks for a username and password before it shows you your MainUI page). This only authenticates you to the cloud server, not to your openHAB instance.

To get to the admin parts of MainUI through the cloud server, you have to log in twice using two different users/passwords. First you need to authenticate to the cloud server to get access to your openHAB instance in the first place. Then you need to authenticate to your openHAB instance to assume the admin role.

H Rich,
Thanks for the explanation.

In both instances, I can’t access the admin area, so I can no longer see all the configured devices.
I’ll check the user list in the Karaf console.

Best regards
Norbert

Good tip,

I was able to reset the password for the admin user and I’m back in the admin console both in the cloud and locally.

Best regards and thanks again!
