Tried upgrading VSZ-E from 5.0 to 5.1.0.0.496 - Can't login to Web UI.

ryan_dougherty_ — Mon, 03 Dec 2018 17:56:46 GMT

Tried upgrading from 5.0 to 5.1.0.0.496 - Can't login to Web UI. After the 45-60 minutes of it coming back online, I was presented with the login page. Click the button to login, see one moment please on the button, then it kicks me back to the login screen. Thinking that it hadn't started all the services, I waited another half hour. Same problem.

Logged into the console via SSH and ran show service. All services that had a status showed online. Shutdown the VM via the console.

Powered on the VM and waited 6 hours. Same issue. I noticed that the browser displays it is trying to contact the googleapi site during the brief login, so I tried allowing traffic from the controller to the domain without any change.

Restored the entire VM from a backup, took a snapshot and tried the upgrade again. Same problem. Reverted to the snapshot.

I thought that it was fine to upgrade to a non 0 build. I should have known better than to attempt an upgrade 2 days after release.

Thanks for the heads up! I was bummed that I forgot to upgrade ours during the weekend. Might give ours a try tonight, and will post the results.

Please do. I will be interested to find out if someone else has this problem.

I should also add, if it makes any difference, this is running on VMware ESXi 6.0 with vCenter Server 6.5.

We have the same versioning.

Upgrade worked like a charm. vSZ-E - non clustered.

I wonder why mine doesn't want to login.

We have the same issue where we cannot log in to Web UI after updating to vSZ 5.1. We were running 3.6.2 and read the upgrade notes thoroughly and thought it should be okay being a .1 release.

WiFi is still up and running fine, we just can't log in to make changes or enrol our new R730s that arrived yesterday... we do have a snapshot but can see via SSH that some APs have already taken the 5.1 firmware so waiting to hear from support before we revert.

We are using vCenter 6.7 and ESXi 6.5

Ryan, when you reverted did you have any APs on 5.1?

I suggest that TAC cases should be open if you are running into issues like this. They can perform a deeper look into these issues. Might discover something along the way.

SO we were able to resolve the issue by changing the admin password via CLI. Apparently, v5.1 has issues with special characters in the password...

Hello,
I filed a bug ER-6965: SZ 5.1 Special Char at end of Admin PW breaks GUI login after upgrade.

If you have run into this bug, please open a case and ask the TSE to provide the .KSP engineering patch.
The .KSP needs to be applied to all the nodes in a cluster, and services need to be restarted afterward to
make the changes take place.

Please report if this solved your problem to the TSE, who will update our bug for DE/QA who provided the fix.

Hi,

I have heard there is an issue with special characters at the end of the password but our password did not end with a special character. We did have special characters within the password though and this issue was resolved when we reset the password in the CLI (new password has an @ but no other special characters).

Good luck

We have a special character in our admin password as well, heck it's even at the end. The upgrade still worked for us, no problems.

I just ran into this myself. Upgraded my vSZ from 3.6.1 -> 3.6.2 -> 5.1.0 per Ruckus support's request. After the 5.1 upgrade I'm unable to log in via the web GUI or the CLI. There's a special character at the end of the CLI password, but not the web GUI one. Not sure why both are broke but I'm kinda screwed at the moment.

The ER-6965 bug got fixed. SZ 5.1.1 will have the fix built-in. If you need it, open a case, and ask TAC to provide the .KSP patch from ER-6965 until then.

Sorry. I stopped following this thread for awhile. I definitely have special characters. Guess that is the issue.

Is the patch applied prior to upgrading to 5.1?

eightohtwoeleve — Fri, 18 Jan 2019 16:32:33 GMT

I assume TAC would need to backdoor install this if people can't login to the GUI/CLI?

That's what I'm curious about. I have no idea how I'm supposed to do anything with this since I can't log into either interface...
