Hello Community,
I had to mount the Ubuntu Desktop image via the CIMC vKVM to do a Maglev password reset. This is all I did. Nothing else. After resetting the Maglev password and warm restarting the system I am no longer able to log into the DNA Center Web UI with any of my local accounts. Everything was working fine previously. I have cleared my browser cache, used a different browser, attempted to SSH into DNA via Maglev and Powershell using the credentials for my local accounts but nothing is working. I am getting the "Invalid Login Credentials" error when trying to log in via the Web UI or Maglev and "Permission denied. Please try again." when SSHing via Powershell. I know the credentials are correct.
sudo maglev-config certs info shows me that my certificates are valid.
magctl rbac external_auth_fallback display shows me "false" which tells me that it its not an issue with AAA services not falling back to local accounts for authentication.
I am at a loss. As I said, all I did was mount the Ubuntu Desktop image, change the Maglev password, and then warm reset the system.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what may be causing this issue? I was just about to finish deploying the device for a production environment and now I am stuck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Okay so I still do not know what caused the issue but here is the solution:
using the Maglev shell, check to see if external authentication fallback is enabled:
magctl rbac external_auth_fallback display
{
"response": {
"enabled": false
}
}
If enabled = false , enable with:
magctl rbac external_auth_fallback enable
This allowed me to be able to log in via the Web UI.
