Openfire Installation Issue – Can’t Login to admin panel

openfirexmpp

I am trying to get Openfire to install on an Ubuntu virtual machine, however upon completing the web based installer, I am unable to login to the admin panel.

So far I:

  • downloaded Debian installer
  • Installed using stock options
  • Added database and built the structure using supplied SQL file
  • Completed web based installer

I am now trying to login using username: admin and my password, however I constantly get a wrong username/password error. There is a record generated in the MySQL database showing the admin user with an encrypted password, and changing to an unencoded password doesn't work. What is the problem here?

I had the same issue, little know and it seems undocumented bug. Try rebooting the server after the you do the install.

Worked for me.
