  • Cannot login to Pandora FMS – Double Auth Error

    Posted by Pamod on May 5, 2024 at 17:12

    I have two factor authentication enabled for the administrator account in Pandora FMS with Microsoft authenticator App. And It has been working fine for last 4 – 5 months.

    But recently when I type my username, password, and prompting for the otp, I insert the code I had received in Microsoft authenticator App. But when hit enter, it says “Double auth error

    I have tried to login many times, but I am getting the same error every time. I am 100% sure no issue from the Microsoft Authenticator app or the OTP I am inserting, as this was worked perfectly fine in the last few months.

    Please help me to solve this as this is the only Administrator account I have for the Pandora FMS.

    Hello,

    Do you remember making any changes in the Server that may be causing this issue? If it has been working for the past 4 to 5 months and no changes has been made, then it should continue working as it did.

    In case there were some changes made try to revert them or snapback to a recently snapshot you’ve made.

    Otherwise what you can do for the moment is to disable 2 factor auth from MySQL to prevent the admin to be prompt for the code:

    update tconfig set value = '' where token = 'double_auth_enabled';

    Which PaandoraFMS version you have currently installed?

    Kind regards,

    Sergio B.

      No changes have been made. I’ll give a try to disable two-factor from the server using your command.

      Thank You.

      Hey now the user is blocked. Maybe because I tried to login multiple times. Now the only option available is I think, creating a new administrator user from the database side.

      What are the steps to create an administrator user in CLI?

        Hello,

        You can unblock the user, with a MySQL Query aswell:

        update tusuario set login_blocked = 0 where id_user = "admin";

        You can change the user ID if it’s not admin.

        Kind regards,

        Sergio B.

          Hey!

          Much thanks, you saved me.

          I was able to disable double authentication using the command you given.
