The Unreal Admins Page

spatieman · #1 30th June, 2021, 10:00 AM

so, i got a nice sniper server ,working great ,set the admin pass ,logged in with adminlogin admin <pass> yap, worked.

But i also have a monsterserver, dont ask me what i did, but i guess i entered 5 times or so a wrong password, perma banned on IP lvl.

but i cant find the whole file where the ban is in.
Even worse, to exclude that the ban is written externaly i started the sniper server ,,also banned.

any suggestion

this is idiotic imho.

medor · #2 2nd July, 2021, 10:23 AM

this is not the same place for admin password MH

search in the MH.ini you have

spatieman · #3 3rd July, 2021, 08:26 AM

medor..
thnxs.
but i wasnt clear.
i did a adminlogin admin password (fake,but is example)
and after 3 times it got a fancy kick and a message the my 83.80.* host now is banned for to manny login atempts

stupidly as i was, i forgot to turn off all other stuff in the ini file, and tought i changed the password (but forgot the save the file)

the ban is sended to a somewone ,but i cant find out who, bcouse the server.log is gone with that data.

medor · #4 4th July, 2021, 07:53 AM

In you MH.ini you can set the password
set it and you can connect you as admin

[Engine.GameInfo]
AdminPassword=here

Probably you can found list ban in the web set on port 8080 it must be open for that.
[UWeb.WebServer]
ListenPort=8080
bEnabled=True
ServerName=put your IP server

spatieman · #5 4th July, 2021, 01:23 PM

ok, i rewrite it again........
i think there is a MASIVE miscomunication here.

1st of all ,i know the admin hierachy of a ut server, this not my first ride.
i have TWO ! ut99 server, a sniper server, and a monsterhunt server.

when i log in the sniper server and type in the console admin login pass (fake on)
i got a nice comfirmation that i am now a server admin

basicly i set this password for all my servers in test setup. ALL OF THEM.....

lazyness pure, i stop the snipe server and start the monsterhunt server (same game port 7777)
adapted all the password stuff from my motballed monsterhunt server, but for some reason it didnt saved the unrealtournament.ini file

still following?
when i log in the server, and pop the console , i enter adminlogin admin pass
but i dont get a confirmation message, and after 3 atemps i got booted from the server with a message saying 83.80.* now globaly banned for to many failed admin logins.

when i stop the monsterhunt server and start the sniper server again.
i get a dumb no responce to a correct login atempt on it.
so, NO ini file storare or what ever, the ban is written externaly.
the question is simpel, on what site is that ban witten !and how to apeal it.
dont forgot, ut99 is 22 years by now ! ,
something stupid like this i never had

medor · #6 12th July, 2021, 01:53 PM

simple questions

which MH version are you using ?
past your MH.ini here and not your UT.ini

simple advice

make separate servers with different ports and different web port
launch it with server.bat files

UT Server 1

spatieman · #7 14th July, 2021, 03:20 PM

thank you for the explination.
but i have a WAN IP ban, not a mismatched config.
worse,, i asked a friend to try log in, also no go, so it is pure a WAN IP /16 host ban i have.

CPanoplyd · #8 24th July, 2021, 07:15 PM

I don't know what the problem is but what serverpackages are you running on the server?
Is this problem only on ONE server or globally across all?
If you spin up a vanilla server from a fresh install does it still happen?

as sayd, i manage to get my self a WAN ip ban on my ip adres in /16 range.
my question is simple, does anyone know to what backend the server is communicating to, bcouse this adminlogin ban is on EVERY UT server i have.

CPanoplyd · #10 31st July, 2021, 05:38 PM

If you can access the server to attempt to do adminlogin in the console, you're not IP banned. You're simply using the wrong password.

You can log in as Admin on the NON-MonsterHunt servers, correct?
If YES, check the MonsterHunt.ini or MonsterHunt2Gold.ini and see what the Adminpassword is set to in that INI file. MonsterHunt Server settings are NOT stored in the UnrealTournament.ini file.

The IP bans are possibly from OPBAN, a server controller, or listed in either the Unrealtournament.ini or MonsterHunt.ini. I would check the ban list for the first two since they'll be outside game INIs. This is why I asked for you to post the ServerPackages and I should have put ServerActors too that are running on the two servers.

spatieman · #12 1st August, 2021, 10:51 AM

sorry late responce,,
checked, clear, as sayd.
i got the ban on my other server to, so it is WAN based ,but i cant find the source...

If you rename your UnrealTournament.ini to UnrealTournament.ini.ban, start a server to let it create a fresh one, and then go in and set an admin password in the new INI, does it let you log in when you start the server?

I don't know what has banned you. There isn't anything that handles bans that I can see. I just spammed an adminlogin test in my MonsterHunt2Gold server and it kicked me and logged

Code:

AdminAction: CPan (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:61954) was kicked from the server: Too many login attempts.

Have you taken a look at the server log? Maybe that can help point in a direction.

spatieman · #15 2nd August, 2021, 07:41 AM

the logfile with its reason got killed, i wasnt fast engough to copy it, i can try it, did a litle tinkering here, pulled the network cable from the switch, still i cant login to my server, to be honnest, i am geting anoyed here, i even checked registry entries, nothing.

you must set your admin password in your MonsterHunt2Gold.ini

spatieman · #17 5th August, 2021, 07:51 AM

hmm, i dont have MH2gold, i play with the stock version, and just tested it with a fresh stock server i made ,still not able to login...

spatieman · #18 5th August, 2021, 11:32 AM

ok....
here comes the BEST joke ever.......
Serious, it is...
a friend digged in the config, and he found the isue in 5 minutes.
its the most common STUPID mistake ever a admin can make.
dont ask me how or what why it always worked,
but a simpel adminlogin <password> was all i needed
not adminlogin admin <password>

i am feeling so, so stupid here now.

Glad you got it sorted...

I put my adminlogin in a text file in my System Directory. Then I set up a Login and Logout Alias. Then set a key to the Login Alias or KEY=ACELOGIN

In the files I have:
Login File

Code:

adminlogin password|set input Up ACELogout

Logout File

Code:

mutate quickadmin|set input Up ACELogin|adminlogout

Then the Aliases I have set up:

Code:

Aliases[32]=(Command="exec acelogin.txt",Alias="ACELogin")
Aliases[33]=(Command="exec acelogout.txt",Alias="ACELogout")

That way I just use the same key for all my servers and I don't have to type anything. It's also a little more obfuscated keybinding this way so that things like HiddenAdmin can't read the keybind and get the password. I assume some of the anticheats can scan the files and get the contents but I don't think they're checking non-executable files in the system folder.
