I have
- a fresh install of the free version of XProtect 2020 R2 on win10. (latest download)
- installed from an admin account main_user
- created an auxiliary account (aux_user) with admin rights on the computer
- added the main_user and aux_user as users of XProtect during installation using the same password as used in windows.
- during installation all encryption and certificates are de-selected.
Opening XProtect management client 2020 R2 after all this, no matter which account and login authentication i select i get the error:
Failed to connect, check the username and password.
The entered user name and password _is_ correct.
I use localhost as server (has also tried with the ip address) and I am logged in on the machine on which all software is installed. I have tried with login as aux_user. No change.
Same issue with XProtect Smart Client 2020 R2.
Hope someone has a hint as this is very frustrating to install a software which can’t even be opened.
