Issues logging into the Web UI of a NetWorker OVA deployment
I deployed the NetWorker OVF as a vm in our vmware environment, then went into the /avigui and installed and configured it. Now I can't seem to log in to the Web UI / NWUI with either the root or admin credentials which are the only credentials, as far as I can tell, in the system. Do I have to setup anything else, like the authentication service or the NMC server?
I also can't SSH into the Networker server but it seems like it's not set up for that.
Any idea what I might be doing wrong?

Ok I figured it out. I'm not sure if I just missed this somewhere in the documentation but the admin login is "administrator" not "admin".

It looks like you deployed the NetWorker Virtual Edition (short: NVE). Basically, this is a SuSE Linux with NetWorker installed. I personally would not use it myself because it limits you when you need to update as you cannot touch the OS and the NW software separately. But of course it is a solution which can easily be deployed.
I myself made the experience that the URL mentioned in the docs is not appropriate. It reads that you must open https:// /avi/avigui.html . This is did not work for me. Instead I succeeded when I connected to the 'homepage' https:// . After confirming the usual security warnings I successfully ended up AVI window (surprisingly the same as the first URL . Here you continue with the configuration.
As I said, the OS is a SuSE version. If you want to remotely login, must take the usual appropriate OS action to allow that.

That's good to know about the virtual edition and SUSE thanks.
But I wasn't having any issue accessing the avi page, I already logged into it and configured the serve4r. It was the nwui page that was giving me trouble. https:// :9090/nwui
I can access the login page itself its just not letting me log in for some reason either with root or admin.

Looks like I can't log in to the NMC either user admin or root.
