Working on setting up a Rancher 2.0 cluster to get a feel for the changes. I’m using Rancher 2.0rc1, and building a 3-node RKE cluster for the Racher server. Everything seems to be setup correctly, but I’m unable to set an initial admin password
Any thoughts of where to look? Nothing jumps out in the logs.

So it appears to only be an issue when accessing through port 80. When I went through 443 it works. I know that SSL is the default now, but curious why I didn’t get a redirect and the odd error message

TLS is required. The session cookie for the UI is marked `secure` and will not be transmitted over http. And the http port does do a redirect in the default configuration.

Cool, thanks for the confirmation
