opnsense 19.1.8 serial console access problem

[Vincent Chen]

Hi, all

I am runngin opnsense 19.1.8.If I uncheck 'Password protect the console menu' option, I can see full function menu in serial console. If I check 'Password protect the console menu' option, I got login prompt, I tried to login using a account which is ok for web ui, I got 'this account is currently not available' error and back to login prompt.
Is there anything I should check to get serial console access?


Thanks,

You need to give your user a shell.
