Authentication for command logswitch failed



The logswitch command should not require authentication when performed for logs on the management console. You may see this error message when the node name IP address is incorrectly defined on the system. Make sure the hostname returned by the 'hostname' or 'uname -n' command resolves to the IP address of the system in the local hosts file. Another way to workaround this is to add the following line to $FWDIR/lib/control.map on the management console:

management-ip: */none

This will be added after the CLIENT and MASTERS line, but before the *: line. You will need to restart FireWall-1 for this change to take effect.
