So configuring 8443 can not work.

I guess it has to wait until I am back.

Re: initial setup with cloudkey+

agree, that must have been an artifact of the configuration going away without me noticing. sorry for the red herring. Thanks for making the attempt while on the road.

Re: initial setup with cloudkey+

while I wait for you to come back, I'll note that I got a reminder from ubnt that all accounts are going 2fa July 22. So this will break then?

Re: initial setup with cloudkey+

the MFA (2 f auth) is for logging into your UNIF account, not the cloud key, at least that is how I understand it.

and yes I am back.

can we do an online session. I am using ":any desk", but any tool should work.

if you like send me an email w your login id... to karlwachs at my com

Re: initial setup with cloudkey+

after enabling MFA on your account.ui.com the regular account will STOP WORKING w/o MFA authorization.

you need to setup a new LOCAL account on your unifi local console
- click on the U in the upper left corner
- click on admin & users
- add a new user id and select "restrict to local access" and give it super admin rights
- save / apply
-then in plugin/ config change the userid/passwd to the new userid/password you just created, and restart plugin.

for me that works, although the local admin userid shows "Status" = "Pending" in the unifi console

Re: initial setup with cloudkey+

download this python program:
https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/t88e4tgufzraidjuy9vrd/testUnifi.py?rlkey=ifoo46ug7nid33jqrta6i4ry0&st=hue1beyr&dl=0
save as testUnifi.py in your desktop directory
then
open terminal
cd desktop
python3 testUnifi.py ipNumberOfController httpUseridOfController httpPasswordOfController IPNumberofAPorSwitch sshUserID sshPassword

see explanation below:

Code: Select all
#  this program will
#     test connections to the unifi controller by trying out web port number, home pages, login etc
#     test ssh connection to an AP or switch
#  will print 
#     logging of connect tries and
#     the parameters you should use in unifi plugin config, eg:
#
#=====finished======================================== in unifi plugin config set the indicated fields to the value shown:
#                             "field name" = "value"
#    "http: web UserID for CONTROLLER/UDM" = "xxx userid xxx"
#       and next field      "..  password" = "xxx password xxx"
#  "ssh unix UserID of AP,SW,GW - not UDM" = "xxx userid xxx"
#       and next field       ".. password" = "xxx password xxx"
#              ".. ipNumber of Controller" = "192.168.x.x"
#       "site ID (not name) in eg http .." = "default"
# "..controller port#, leave empty for .." = "443"
#                      "check port Number" = "do not check if port number ..."
#=====finished======================================== END

#
# call :
#  python3 testUnifi.py ipNumberOfController httpUseridOfController httpPasswordOfController IPNumberofAPorSwitch sshUserID sshPassword
#    ipNumberOfController should the ip number of the unfi controller
#    httpUseridOfController should be from field "http:  web UserID for CONTROLLER/UDM"  password from the next field
#    sshUserID and sshPassword should be from : "ssh unix UserID of AP,SW,GW - not UDM" and next password field
#    IPNumberofAPorSwitch should the ip number of any of your AP or switches
#    the userid and password of ssh can and should be different to the userid/password of http web access
#
