Setting I can't find - admin keeps trying login

Thu Dec 30, 2021 6:42 pm

I don't have a admin account on a rb4011 that I setup a a dude server on. After setting up a first subnet to monitor, I see on one of the routers that will notify of failed logins, that the dude is constantly trying to login with admin . I cannot figure out where this setting can be changed. It is successfully connecting to all devices otherwise using proper credentials in routerOS or snmp community I setup, but this admin setting alludes me.
Thanks in advance for any help.

OK getting no help here let me rephrase

How to tell the Dude to Shut the hell up?? (yes I can disable it)

Server constant barrage of admin login attempts - - -
client constant barrage of admin login attempts - - - gets much worse if server is disabled.

I never asked the Dude to use "admin" for anything on server or client - if either is running, there is a constant barrage of attempts to connect to EVERYTHING it sees with admin.
C'mon! There must be a way to stop that.

It has to do with those RouterOS settings in the added DUDE devices ...
You expect it from the right hand side, not from the left hand side, but that one starts collecting RouterOS data !

Well I have this on all my devices, so I still am mystified:

Tried to post picture, been off this forum a long time, no longer remember the secret to do that.

However, if in your picture, you replace admin, with the adminstrative name I use for all devices and password, you would not find the word admin anywhere.
Yet it persists in trying to connect winbox with it anyway, according to the device logs.

Add "*.JPG" as "Attachments" and then "Place inline"

Maybe "Reconnect" is needed to activate the new username. Or a DUDE restart.
