ACS GUI authentication issue

[Mohammad Abu Arja]

Hi All

I installed ACS 5.3 on a virtual machine to integrate it with gns3 , I can ping ACS IP from a gns router and vice versa , but when I try to access the GUI interface with admin username/password ,  it prompts me with " Invalid username or password specified" although same credentials work with CLI access .

any idea ?

Thanks in advance

You should use;

username: ACSAdmin

Password: default 

The first time you log in to ACS 5.3, you are prompted for the predefined administrator username ( ACSAdmin ) and required to change the predefined password name ( default ). After you change the password, you can start configuring the system.
The predefined administrator has super administrator permissions—Create, Read, Update, Delete, and eXecute (CRUDX)—to all ACS resources.

After installation, the first time you log in to ACS, you must do so through the ACS web interface and install the licenses. You cannot log in to ACS through the CLI immediately after installation.
