unable to add sa to nsm

[futuretec_]

hi,

am trying to add sa to nsm and i keep getting the below error msg :
login rejected from IP x.x.x.x the authentication policy does not allow administrators to sign in via the internal network

although i only enable mgmt access through the managment port and i dont have any HC for the admin reals-roles.

another thing i`ve noticed when i disabled DMI agent and try to SSH the appliance i cant have access it says rejected , but when i enable the DMI agent and try to SSH the appliance again it gives the same above msg.

SA-6500/6.5r5

nsmxpress 2009r1

On the SA go to:

Admin Realms - Admin Users (or whatever your realm is called) - Authentication Policy - Source IP

and tick the box "Enable administrators to sign in on the Internal Port"

here is my setup,

my nsm port on the mgmt vlan on SA i enabled the mgmt port and joined it to the same nsm vlan , on the SA i disbaled access on the internal port for security reasone means i only can access through mgmt port but still again am getting the above error msg.

Judging by the log, NSM is trying to connect to the SA on the internal port.

Have you put the MGMT port IP in NSM?

is the SA on the same subnet, or does it have a route to the NSM box?
