Topic: Login to netdata fails with user:password in netdata.users

==== REQUIRED BASIC INFO OF YOUR IREDMAIL SERVER ====
- iRedMail version (check /etc/iredmail-release): 0.9.8
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version: Ubuntu 16.04
- Store mail accounts in which backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL): MySQL
- Web server (Apache or Nginx):Nginx
- Manage mail accounts with iRedAdmin-Pro? No
- [IMPORTANT] Related original log or error message is required if you're experiencing an issue.
====

I have located the /etc/nginx/netdata.users file.
I copied the user:password info. There is only 1 line

It looks like...
postmaster@mail.mydomain.com:{SSHA}KTnu6gfKoMoNaWsyysqwTCJL9ufYWhV6Q==

So I navigate to https://mail.mydomain.com/netdata/
I am prompted for login.
I enter...postmaster@mail.mydomain.com as user
Then... {SSHA}KTnu6gfKoMoNaWsyysqwTCJL9ufYWhV6Q== as password.
Get a "401 Authorization Required".
So I try again with just KTnu6gfKoMoNaWsyysqwTCJL9ufYWhV6Q== as the password.
Still no luck.

So what am I doing wrong?
Thanks

This is encrypted password hash, not plain password. What you need to enter must be plain password.

You can update netdata.users to use (new) plain text password, or type old and correct plain password.
