I have a server with an old Java KVM. I had to have the initial install done by support. Over the years, I had this problem several times after an upgrade ( not always ). Those few times I needed to have support login to fix a problem. You may have to do the same thing. Have you told support about the problem? I can't remember what the problem was, but I think I have it in some old support tickets. Have you tried doing a cold reboot? I also got email blacklisted once and I had the exact same experience of it looking like I was logging in but I couldn't. Removing myself from that blacklist and notifying support solved the problem. -- Regards, Chris Bennett
