RabbitMQ Admin Can't Log In To Management UI

Question

I am running RabbitMQ version 3.7.6 in a Docker container. The management plugin is enabled.

I receive the following error when logging in to the management UI:

I am using the following rabbitmq.conf:

default_user                    = admin
default_pass                    = redacted
default_user_tags.administrator = true
default_user_tags.management    = true

The confusing part is that it appears user admin does indeed have management enabled. The following is shown during boot up:

Creating user 'admin'
Setting user tags for user 'admin' to [management,administrator]
Setting permissions for 'admin' in '/' to '.*', '.*', '.*'

As requested, here is the output of list_users:

$ rabbitmqctl list_users
Listing users ...
admin   [management, administrator]

Why am I unable to log in to the management console on an account that appears to have the management tag enabled?

would this help? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30747469/how-to-add-initial-users-when-starting-a-rabbitmq-docker-container — Frodo, Jul 04 '18 at 12:54
I have updated the question to show the output of `list_users`. — Rick, Jul 05 '18 at 14:25

Please see my response here:

Based on the configuration file you provide in that message thread, you are creating a user named "admin" (including the quotes).
