Remote login user/password error

[bcondemi 5]

I have logged in remotely (outside the network) and am presented with the login page. I setup 5 user account (all having access remotely) and attempt to login.

Each time I get 'Sign-in error' Invalid username or password. I have a simple one name username and a 4 character simple password. (just for testing). same error for all accounts.

Is there a name/password criteria for remote access? or can suggest what to check?

 

Thank-you

 

 

-I just checked locally as well. My 4 digit password is also not working. Subsequently, I can no longer log in.

If there is no solution, I may have to delete the entire settings and start again.

Did you setup SSL on your server or are you trying to use plain http?

Remotely I am able to log-in and see the login page and enter username and password. entering the password gives me the error. do I need ssl for that?

***Regardless of remote connection***

 I am not able to login locally either now. my username is pre-filled and entering the 4 digit password fails.

'1234' that's it! 

Not sure what happened?

Ok, I was able to follow password recovery thread and got back in.

I will attempt password set up on other accounts and test remote logins again.

Let us know how you get on. Thanks.

I can confirm signing in locally with a password works.

Signing in remotely through my DDNS, can access the emby login page, but username/password error.

Signing in using Emby Connect on my iphone, l can access the emby login page, but username/password error.

second user, local signing in OK, errors remotely. (same as above errors)

So I'm not sure why the same credentials work locally not remotely. I hope I can find a solution or I may not be able to use Emby.

Thank-you

... After much investigation, turns out, my Unifi router did not like port 8096. SO I changed it to 8097 (for testing). I am now able to login, user, password and all working.

Testing further....

after forwarding port 8920, It's not working. tested open port tool and 8920 is closed. Is there a setting that I'm missing?

 

Thank-you

Well 8920 is Emby Server's default SSL port. Have you setup SSL on your Emby Server?

I would have to buy an SSL certificate and not willing to do that for testing.

OK so you should be fine with the http port then.

[bcondemi 5]

Yes I am. It works well.

You can get certificates for free, you know, and programs (such as the web server / reverse proxy called Caddy) which will do even that for you automatically, and keep them renewed automatically.

I appreciate that, but would rather not sign-in to yet more sites. more passwords, programs running, etc...

But yes thank-you

No sign-in involved in what I mentioned.
