mgmtuser username admin password 0 <password> secret 0 <password>

ip http server
ip http authentication local
ip http secure-server
ip http secure-trustpoint CISCO_IDEVID_SUDI

any debug attempts show nothing or fail:

You haven't posted full config so can't see but you don't have authorization configured do you? (it's not supported for the GUI).

Presume you've tried different browsers?

Presume you're doing it in a private browsing window?

Are you trying to use the mgmtuser (admin) or have you tried using a local user with priv level 15?

hi dude

followed your suggestion to try private mode & was able to login with both Edge & Chrome.

Only the mode i was able to login with!

but connection i've got looked quite wierd:

5A5DCCE0 192.168.1.6.443 192.168.1.5.48755 TIMEWAIT

there r no interfaces with IP 192.168.1.6 on the AP neither browsers run on the host with IP 192.168.1.5!
