SRX 5308 Blocked to Login From WAN side

Hi!

I have a little problem. Can`t connect from wan side to my router :(

And I can`t understend what i`m doing wrong...

Chekbox "secure https connection" is active. Firmware is latest.

 

When I`m trying to connect that blackbox ip, i`m receiving this: Blocked to Login From WAN side

What am I do wrong?

    Hi Niabu,

     

    Welcome to the community!

     

    There is a policy set on the admin user by default to block the account to login from the WAN. This is a security mechanism as the admin password is a default password easily available on the internet.

     

    To disable this feature go to Users - Users. For the admin user click on Policies. De-select the option "Deny Login from WAN Interface" and click Apply.

     

    You should change the password from the default password before making this change.

     

    Thanks.
