Cannot login to WebUI

Good afternoon,

I’ve flashed the esp32dev-ble firmware (using the web download and browser flash) to a ESP32 WROOM board. It connects to my AP fine and posts messages to the MQTT broker.

I can’t get past basic authentication login to the WebUI though.
I’ve used all the permutations of admin/blank for username, and
my entered password/blank/your_password/[last 8 digits of the board MAC address] (with and without colons).

I’m connecting to http://192.168.1.106 and it asks for basic auth, but never logs in.

I even tried resetting the password via an MQTT command:
mosquitto_pub -h xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -t "OMG/OpenMQTTGateway/commands/MQTTtoSYS/config" -m '{"gw_pass":"12345678"}'

Any suggestions?

Hello,

Your gateway password is the one you enter during onboarding with WiFiManager.
I would advise to erase and flash the board and do the onboarding again.

Thanks. I did that twice. I tried both the passwords I entered.
I’ll try once more time.

Interestingly I found the user @DigiH wrote that the webUI module was optional and I don’t see that module listed in the precompiled binaries. That would explain it, but I’m not sure why the browser would ask me to authenticate if it wasn’t serving web pages.

The WebUI is included in this binary

Try with 12345678 as password and admin as username

Also would be interesting if you see any response on the serial console, it is accessible on the development branch:

5 
 SYStoMQTT
 v1.7.0
 uptime: 415
 freemem: 87928
 ip: 192.168.1.106

Woot! I reuploaded one more time and got it to work.
Learned how to use the serial console monitor as well.

Thanks for your help
