Can’t access admin function after installation

[fhbartlett]

I can’t make any changes to the server settings – I get “Authentication failed, please try again”.

Also, the installation failed to find my external IP address, which has never been a problem with NoMachine before.

I installed NoMachine 8.2.3 on Fedora 37 running kernel 6.0.18 and Gnome 43.2 (X11).

The nxserver.log file has 115 instances of “Features/Features: WARNING! Assuming kernel version 5 compatibility.” and 1 of “Warning: ALREADY_ENABLED: ‘5353:udp’ already in ‘public’”.

nxinstall.log has 3 warnings:

• 700 Result: Warning: SELinux userspace will refer to the module from /usr/NX/scripts/selinux/fedora25/nx-unconfined.pp as nx rather than nx-unconfined
• 700 Removed key: FileTransferWarning.
• 700 Removed key: FileTransferWarningSize.

There were no reported errors.

I haven’t yet tried to connect to a remote machine.

Thanks,

Fred

Hi,

We’ve tested on Fedora 37 and not encountered authentication issues. Regarding failed authentication to change server settings, please start a terminal as the user attempting to authenticate and type:

sudo -l -U <username> /bin/pwd

What’s the output of above command?

 

the installation failed to find my external IP address, which has never been a problem with NoMachine before.

In NoMachine version 8, UPnP/NAT-PMP is disabled by default in the Free Edition. To get access to your computer over the internet, NoMachine’s UPnP/NAT-PMP port mapping must be enabled by hand (‘Server settings -> Ports’ -> Select the service and click on Configure); or alternatively, your router can be configured with the appropriate port-forwarding rule. When port-mapping/port-forwarding is enabled, remote NoMachine connections will be possible (more info section 2.2 https://kb.nomachine.com/AR04S01122).

Regarding the other issue you mention, it looks to be related to authentication
