I am having the same problem after upgrading to 6.0.

What problem is this? There's been several problems in this thread. Which do you have? You can highlight a previous post (a portion similar to what I have done) and click "quote selection" to reference prior comments.

I can not log on via my PC using my old user name and PW and I'm told to please log on using my portal UN and PW.

This is expected and outlined in the wiki for eisy-ui.

Please referr to the wiki: https://wiki.universal-devices.com/Eisy:User_Guide#Changes_introduced_with_eisy-ui

Glad to hear the update worked well.

I think there are several items which are causing v.6.0 users’ confusion… at least I have been confused on some of what has been posted in this forum. Below is one example of what is causing me (and maybe others) some confusion

 

When I use IoX Finder…

 

Whether I choose “Admin Console (LAN) or Admin Console (Cloud) the only login option for the "Admin Console" is with my Portal credentials…

 

But according to wiki…

Wiki link https://wiki.universal-devices.com/Eisy:User_Guide#Changes_introduced_with_eisy-ui states:

Everything that worked before continues to work the same way:

·         IoX will respond to API requests on port 8080/8443 and require the same local username & password

·         PG3x/Plugins can still be used using https://eisy.local:3000, using your local username & password

 

 

Now wmcneil posted this…

 

 

Great having multiple ways to access but what about the wiki “Everything that worked before continues to work the same way:”

 

Can we have some consistency and establish “best practices”? Just asking.

@woodchip, 

• After successfully install of IoX 6.0.0 or later: ports 80 and 443 use ISY Portal Credentials, and become available. The only interface which is available only on ports 80 and 443 is eisy-ui, which includes a full PG3x interface fully equivalent to what was available (and still is available) on port 3000 using IoX==local credentials. All other interfaces are available both on ports 80 and 443, as well as continuing to be available on the prior interfaces:
• ports 8080 and 8443 use IoX==local credentials. All of the interfaces which used these ports prior to IoX version 6.0.0 continue to function using these same ports, and using the same IoX=local credentials that they used prior to IoX version 6.0.0
• port 3000 uses IoX==local credentials, and provides a PG3x interface. 

So after installing IoX 6.0.0 , you can choose to use only ports 80 and 443 for all interfaces going forward, or you can continue to use ports 8080 or 8443, and port 3000. So for example:

• If you access Admin Console via ports 80 or 443 using ISY Finder/Start, you will enter ISY Portal Credentials
• If you access Admin Console via ports 8080 or 8443 using ISY Finder/Start, you will need to authenticate using IoX==local credentials

I am not aware of any official best practices for port usage being published. The fact that you can choose to consolidate everything around ports 80 and 443 allows for that simplification if you so choose. That is what I am choosing to do.

Based on what UD support is telling me, regarding my open ticket, the problems I'm experiencing are not related to ports but to issues caused when UD moved some profile data into new database tables and apparently my data only partially transferred correctly. :(
