[SOLVED] User: root@localhost authentication with wrong Pw!!!
Hi all,
In my system log, I found several error lines pointing out (as notice) "User: root@localhost authentication with wrong Pw!!! (Method: sha256, REMOTE_ADDR: XXX.YYY.ZZZ.TTT)"
The remote address is mine and I used to log in with my own admin user, not with root@localhost.
Did someone encounter this behaviour before ?
Thanks,

the supportpackage or the system console checks if default password is used.

Re: User: root@localhost authentication with wrong Pw!!!
Thanks for your reply, but I don't think so because the address used to login with root@localhost is mine and I am still connected with my regular user. No other browser opened or accessing to OTRS.wurzel wrote:Hi,

I changed the root password. Should I recover the default one ?jojo wrote:the supportpackage or the system console checks if default password is used.
Re: User: root@localhost authentication with wrong Pw!!!
it is a check to give you a warning if you did not change the password. So everything is OK

Hi,
yes, nothing to worry about. My inital answer also was correct
i did not think on support package doing it.
