Hi. I’ve just deployed a new CE instance and configured it to the point where I am accessing the CVM via HTTPS:9440 from a browser. Once I put in the admin username and password, I am of course asked for my NEXT Credentials, the credentials I used a few minutes ago to log in here. Also the credentials I have used for three other CE instances a few weeks ago.
As soon as I submit these, I get “Cannot validate the credentials provided” in red and can go no further. Obviously I’ve checked for typos a number of times and am confident the credentials are correct. The only clue I have is from a firewall log that shows the very second I am submitting the credentials, the CVM is trying to access 23.214.153.160 (an Akamai owned IP I believe) and getting a deny (as it should). My question is what is this endpoint, why is CE trying to access it and why isn’t it documented as a requirement to run CE? It is not next.nutanix.com, my.nutanix.com, nsc01.nutanix.net nor nsc02.nutanix.net, the only URLs I am aware of that a CE instance may need access to.
Thanks in advance for any help.
