Installed Apex 21 on 19c - Unable to login to admin account Get auth reqd by host message

terry.williamsMay 1 2022

Hi,
I installed Apex 21 a while back to get re-acquainted with it (3,x was last time I messed with it) and immediately after installing I was able to use the http://myhost:8282/apex/apex_admin URL top get to APEX screens.
Had to abandon the Apex project the next day to attend to another clients projects that lasted for about 2 months, so I barely remember what I was doing - Just knew that it was functional.
Now, I try to login using the credentials I created during the install and the custom port number 8282. No luck
nojoyApex.jpgI get this login where NO credentials work. Not sure what it is logging into.
I queried the port setting using dbms_xdb.gethttpport and it returned 8282.
I tried googling and was surprised to find hardly anything of value.
I did try a couple of things from the google search - I unlocked anonymous and reset password to anonymous and did the same for xdb but that didn't have any affect (I think it was solving a different issue with getting rid of the login entirely and was not approriate for the post it was applied to).
When I check the listener I see that it is listening on 8282
(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=TERRY)(PORT=8282))(Presentation=HTTP)(Session=RAW))
An the service handlers are there:
Services Summary...
Service "52448234712340b69f274bcc790ecfe0" has 1 instance(s).

Instance "orcl", status READY, has 1 handler(s) for this service...
Service "orclpdb" has 1 instance(s).
Instance "orcl", status READY, has 1 handler(s) for this service...
The command completed successfully
I also followed instructions in Doc ID 1518111.1 and reset the port number to no effect.
So, hopefully, the reason I can't find anything on this is that the solution is so simple that my mother-in-law could figure it out.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Terry
