# systemctl status webmin -l
pam_unix(webmin:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty= ruser= rhost= user=root
I'm looking for solution on web but didn't get the proper solution. Someone said that delete the "webmin" file from /etc/pam.d/ and Somebody said that Try editing /etc/webmin/miniserv.conf and removing the line ipv6=1 or just renew the self-sign certificate But I already have Let's Encrypt certificate with validity. Just Follow this Steps:
Goto Webmin >> Webmin Configuration >> Authentication >> Use "Never use PAM for Unix authentication " OR
# vi /etc/webmin/miniserv.conf
no_pam=0
:x (save & close)
Now Restart the Webmin and check the log , There is no warning .# systemctl restart webmin
# tail -f /var/webmin/miniserv.error
# tail -f /var/log/secure | grep webmin
But This is not a best practice/solutions. Best Practice: Follow the the guide: https://doxfer.webmin.com/Webmin/PAM_Authentication
Few Commands For Troubleshooting
# ps -ef | grep webmin
# grep -i pam /etc/webmin/miniserv.conf
# cat /etc/pam.d/webmin
# curl -v webmin_url:webmin_port
# curl https://127.0.0.1:webmin_port
# curl https://127.0.0.1:webmin_port
# telnet 127.0.0.1 wenmin_port
# lsof -i tcp:webmin_port
# tail -f /var/webmin/miniserv.error
