I am getting sick with NAC: new ways to bring it down

[Ilya_Semenov]

Hello, team,

could you please explain me what is wrong:

1. I do clean install of NAC 8.2.1.60 under Hyper-V, apply license. It's green in NAC console and in XMC. I add switches required. Everything is OK.
2. Then I want to change Diagnostics level to Verbose for some functions. I am unable to login https://nac:8443/ with credentials i've set during the installation - Login Failed.
3. I do exactly as here said: https://extremeportal.force.com/ExtrArticleDetail?an=000078011 set same login&pass as with SSH, restart NAC.
4. Now I can login with credentials I've set BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The NAC are red in both NAC console and XMC.

Is it expected result?

Thanks

The GTAC article is accurate if you want to change the Web Service Credentials or if you are deploying a new NAC and the "default" credentials have been changed in NAC Manager...you then must change them on the new NAC so they match, per the article. *Note that these are not the same credentials as the OS level / root user credentials.
