Cloned Webmin User Cannot Login

I first tried to create a new webmin user under Virtualmin 3.79 Pro (Webmin 1.517), but it was not possible to login with that user. Then I cloned an existing admin user, but that one could not login either. Virtualmin login screen says: Login failed. Please try again.

Any ideas what I might be missing here?

Did you set a password for this user, at Webmin -> Webmin Users? If you cloned a user like root who authenticates using his Unix password, unless the clone has a corresponding Unix user he won't be able to login.

I didn't clone the root user. It was an admin user and yes, I set a password with UNIX authentication. Do I have to restart webmin or virtualmin? Anything else I might be missing?

If you selected "Unix authentication", is there a Unix user with the same username? If not, you will need to select "Set to" and enter a password..

That did the trick. Thanks!
