Cannot login with new username

Octopus Server
1

Hello I have a very strange problem.

I want to create a new user in Octopus, just for testing.
I don’t want to create this user in our AD.
So I created filled this form.
Configuration -> Users -> Add Users ->New User
• Username: erictest
• Display Name: erictest
• Service Account: This is not a service account
• Email address: (my own email address)
• Password: I added a password
• Active Directory: No loins are associated
• Then I added the user to the team ‘Octopus administrators’
If I try to login with erictest (and I tried different passwords) I always get the error:
There was a problem with your request.
Invalid username or password.
Can you tell me what is going wrong here? What do I forget?
Sincerely,
Eric Bosman

Hi @ebosman,

Thank you for contacting Octopus Support.

Since AD auth is enabled, it sounds like username and password authentication may be disabled. You may re-enable this by using the command line with the following command:

Octopus.Server.exe configure --instance=[your_instance_name] --usernamePasswordIsEnabled=true

More info here: Username and Password | Documentation and Support

Let me know that works for you.

Best Regards,
Donny
