It is possible, that the Login in the Management Console is not possible at the 29th of February (that is a “leap day”). In the management-console-log the following traceback appears (solution below):

There is an errataupdate released that fixes this behaviour. The errata are as follows:

UCS 3.2: 403

UCS 4.0: 403

UCS 4.1: 122

Solution via errataupdate (3.2):

# Login to your affected Server
ssh root@YOUR_AFFECTED_SERVER
# Update UCS to the newest Erratum (while staying in current minor version)
univention-upgrade --updateto=3.2-99

Solution via errataupdate (4.0):

# Login to your affected Server
ssh root@YOUR_AFFECTED_SERVER
# Update UCS to the newest Erratum (while staying in the current minor version)
univention-upgrade --updateto=4.0-99

Solution via errataupdate (4.1):

# Login to your affected Server
ssh root@YOUR_AFFECTED_SERVER
#Update UCS to the newest Erratum (while staying in the current minor version)
univention-upgrade --updateto=4.1-99

Workaround UCS 3.2 and 4.0 (without Update):

# Login to your affected Server
ssh root@YOUR_AFFECTED_SERVER
# Modify the univention-management-console-web-server
sed -i 's|expiration.year + 5)|expiration.year + 4)|' /usr/sbin/univention-management-console-web-server
# Restart Management Console
/etc/init.d/univention-management-console-web-server restart

Workaround UCS 4.1 (without Update):

# Login to your affected Server
ssh root@YOUR_AFFECTED_SERVER
# Modify the univention-management-console-web-server
sed -i 's|expires.year + 5)|expires.year + 4)|' /usr/sbin/univention-management-console-web-server
# Restart Management Console
/etc/init.d/univention-management-console-web-server restart
