@fantasticfears, you’re the best. That seems to have fixed the issue. I had tried disabling dnsmasq earlier in my troubleshooting, based on information I found on Stack Overflow, but the instructions for configuring docker to use our DNS server seems to have done the trick. I was just able to activate my admin account.

thanks!
