Switching

I am having an issue with J-Web where the second I log in it expires my session immediately.

"Your Session has expired. Click OK to redirect to login page"

I am using firefox, and it is set to accept all cookies. I have also tried a seperate computer with explorer, and chrome to no better luck.  I have also run a "request system storage clean up" but it seems like slim pickings. This pretty much has been happening out of the box. I even upgraded to the latest code, but nothing.

I tried both a management interface and regular 0/0/0 interface (both worked, and let me log in but the second I'm in it boots me out)

config snippet

-------------------

services {
web-management {
http;
}
}

interfaces {
ge-0/0/0 {
description TEST_PORT;
enable;
unit 0 {
family inet {
address 192.168.100.1/16;
}
}
}

I can web to 192.168.100.1 no problem, but that's as far as I can get aside from logging in.

Also, there still appears to be space, but maybe I am missing something?

I'm at a loss, as cookies and space was the solutions for others that have had this. Thanks for any help!

If you run 'show system users' from the CLI are any shown and if so do they match up with the user you are trying to use on the web UI?

Have you tried disabling/removing the web UI interface, commit, and adding it back in?

Any log messages on the device?

Have you ever solved your problem? If so - how?

crap I should have done a followup when it was fixed, I would have a better memory of this.

I believe a firmware upgrade did the trick, but also (just in case if that's not enough), be sure that web-management services are enabled on the config. Not sure if its on by default or not.

(what I have on my same 4300)

version 13.2X51-D36.1;
system {
    host-name THE-STACK-1;
    auto-snapshot;
    root-authentication {
        encrypted-password "blahblahblah"; ## SECRET-DATA
    }
    login {
        message "blah blah blah";
    }
    services {
        ssh;
        telnet;
        web-management {
            http;
        }
    }

I hope that helps. I remember being super frustrated at the time because it came up for a few seconds but then popped me back out!

* I found an old email to where I was communicating with support (here's the important part)

I’m not sure if this is helpful, but this is what I did. I have a feeling this will be impossible to replicate in your lab without knowing what firmware we started on.

1)	Out of the box I stacked 4 Ex3400’s and right away I was unable to get JWEB to work (original firmware unknown). I then upgraded to 13.2x51-D35.3
2)	After upgrading this did not seem to change things. After a lot of debugging and working with you I did a “rollback” to 13.2x51-D26.2 which then JWEB Started working
3)	Curious, I upgraded back to 13.2x51-D25.3 and now it’s working, which is very curious!! 

So I got it working but I'm still not 100% sure what happened. curiously enough I have an SRX with a web issue also, to all I do to get it back (until they fix it in firmware) is the command "restart web-management"

I wish you luck! I hope I helped!!

I know this is a long dead thread, but just in case anyone stumbles across it like I just did here's the fix that worked for me.

I found KB30618 which outlines updating file permissions that may have broken after a zeroize. As soon as I updated the /jail/var/tmp file with the correct permissions I was able to login.

And just in case the KB disappears:

Hi,

we still facing it! 

tried to open permissions for var folder,

tried to upgrade didn't work.

tried to change the settings for a limit session, and sessions idle 

create new user 

nothing helped 

please help!

Hi m.man,

Please try to set the correct date/time on the switch if it's not already accurate.  See if it helps:

user@root% cli
user@root> set date <YYYYMMDDhhmm.ss>

Hope this helps.

Regards,
-r.
