Unauthorized Access to FMC Web GUI but FMC Cli working fine

SuMyatLwin0903 — Fri, 21 Feb 2020 17:52:56 GMT

I disabled admin role in FMC System>Users tab to test the same error happened in my customer site.

Then, I always get this the same error message "Unable to authorize access. etc" when I login to FMC GUI.

To solve this, I used usertool.pl to reset admin user and give new password for admin. But it didn't work.

#usertool.pl -p 'admin my-password'

Help me solve this.

1. Detailed steps from start to finish

2. The exact use case that is being tested here and the reasons behind it.

Hi nspasov,
Use case
I found "Unable to authorize access, etc" when I login to FMC GUI in my customer site even the FMC cli console is working well. They said they accidentally disable admin user role in FMC System> Users tab. I did the same to test the same issue in my lab.
Steps I used
- Disable the admin user role in FMC System> Users tab. I use 6.5 FMC ver.
- I reboot FMC from cli.
- I use eo_tool according to this following community support.
https://community.cisco.com/t5/firewalls/unable-to-authorize-access-fmc/td-p/3882293
- It didn't work. Then usertool.pl to reset admin password and give new password. It also didn't work.
- I still get the the same error "Unable to authorize access when I login to FMC Web GUI".

Apologies for the delayed reply as it took a bit of time to track this down. Please try this:

1. Use the eo_tool to re-enable the admin role (Steps provided from the other thread). However, make sure that you "save" the changes before exiting the eo_tool:

?UserRole> save

After you save, go back and edit the file and confirm that the changes were save and the admin role is re-enabled

2. After the admin role is re-enabled, you will need to update some data and permissions. For this you can use a perl script. E.g:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use FlyLoader;
use Data::Dumper;

my $uuid = "bee2eb18-e129-11df-a04a-42c66f0a3b36";

warn "Refreshing All User Permissions...";
SF::Permission::refreshAllUserPermissions();

warn "Updating Policies With User Role...";
SF::AuthConfigObject::updatePoliciesWithUserRole($uuid);

warn "CSM notifyRoleEO...";
SF::CSMAgent::notifyRoleEO($uuid,'update');

3. After you run the script, restart mojo:

pmtool restartbyid mojo

4. Reboot the FMC

5. You should be able to login to your UI

I hope this helps!
