Allowing a user to connect through SSH

I need to allow a user (not root) to connect to a server ESXi 4.1 via SSH.

The ESXi server is not a member of Active Directory.

I have read the article on the http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1024235 page and created a new user.

Then I opened the inventory, choose 'Add Permission' and adds the new user with the role of administrator on all of the inventory.

When I try to access it via SSH using the user name and the password of the user I get "access denied".

I think I missed a relevant step because if I open the inventory again and select ' add permission "the list of users with the privileges granted is empty and I don'tI do not see the user in the list of users with permissions."

However, if I use the vSphere client I locon as a new user and perform all the administrative tasks of ther.

  • What step am I missing?
  • As my user should only use SSH to perform actions on a given virtual machine, I can great administrative rights only for the virtual machine without rights to granding to all inventory?
  • Is there a more detailed documentation for referred to?

    Is there a way to put an end to the former a user session when a user logs in from a different computer/browser?

    Hope someone can help me :)

    Edit:
    After a little research I found that the sessions are stored in: flows_030100.wwv_flow_sessions$

    I can also run this like sql and it actually works:
    remove the flows_030100.wwv_flow_sessions$ where cookie = upper ('username');

    We have our own function of connection and I thought that I would delete all the lines in wwv_flow_sessions$ where the COOKIE is equal to the username of the user like this:

    remove the flows_030100.wwv_flow_sessions$ where cookie = upper (p_username);

    but then I get this error:
    Error: PL/SQL: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
    Text: delete from flows_030100.wwv_flow_sessions$

    Edited by: bjarkekr 2011-02-07 14:35

    I'm not aware of any builtin setting that does this.

    If there is an internal API to disconnect from any session (as the admin can do this, he must be anyway), it would have been easier. Probably it is not made available to users of the normal application because of security problems

  • Maybe this isn't the best solution, but it should work.
    It's Miley application process to be run whenever a new page is loaded as well after submission before calculations (this process means 2 that makes the same run each of these events).
    In the process, it checks whether new sessions for this user has been created and if there is a new session it disconnect the current session.

    DECLARE
      ln_i NUMBER;
    BEGIN
      --Check if a newer session for current user exists
      SELECT 1 INTO ln_i
      FROM   apex_workspace_sessions
      WHERE UPPER(user_name) = UPPER(:APP_USER)  --for current user
      AND     apex_session_id != :APP_SESSION --sessions other than current session
      AND     session_created > (SELECT session_created FROM apex_workspace_sessions where apex_session_id = :APP_SESSION); --newer session creation date
    
      --Log the user out
      HTMLDB_CUSTOM_AUTH.LOGOUT
         (
          p_this_app            => :APP_ID,
          p_next_app_page_sess  => :APP_ID||':101'
           );
    WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
      NULL;
    END;
    

    Not tested

    If necessary, you can redirect to a separate page where you show the message that the current session is exceeded due to a new session elsewhere.

  • How activate/connect with SSH?

    For Beta3 release notes say is a new feature ' secure connection: you can now connect to the Tablet using Secure Shell (SSH) and download files from your application using SCP and SFTP.

    The simulator of listening on port 22 (the SSH standard) or any other port for SSH connections, with or without active development mode does not have a vanilla installation.

    I found the blackberry connect program in the SDK bin folder and tried this after creating a RSA2 key:

    c:\>blackberry-connect -targetHost 192.168.7.172 -devicePassword x
    PROGRESS: Connecting to target 192.168.7.172:4455
    PROGRESS: Authenticating with target 192.168.7.172:4455
    PROGRESS: Encryption parameters verified
    PROGRESS: Authenticating with target credentials.
    PROGRESS: Successfully authenticated with target credentials.
    PROGRESS: Sending ssh key to target 192.168.7.172:4455
    Connection refused: Invalid ssh key contents.
    The target actively refused the connection. Please ensure that qconnDoor is running on the target.
    PROGRESS: Unable to send ssh key to target
    

    The fichier.ssh/id_rsa.pub is generated as a SSH-1 using PuttyGen key.  I also tried a file SSH-2 RSA with the same results.

    The fact that he said that he "succesfully authenticated" it suggests successfully connected... probably using port 443 (https) the way I guess that deploy blackberry is.  However, after that he seems to say my key is not valid (not sure, I believe that), but also actively target "connection refused" (I think that... qconn is not listening on port 8000 or another).

    Any who have knowledge of this area, or wild guess I can try?

    OK, I am able to connect through SSH.  It's a little complicated at the moment but I'll simplify and post a recipe as soon as I can.

    For anyone technical enough to follow with minimal intervention:

    1. I generated a 4096-bit RSA key using 'ssh-keygen - b 4096' on a Linux machine, recording in the format 'test_rsa' and 'test_rsa.pub '.
    2. I transferred those to my Windows box.
    3. I called "blackberry-connect targetHost - PCMGM - devicePassword x - test_rsa.pub sshPublicKey."

    This operation transfers the public key in the device by connecting through qconn (port 4455) using unknown protocols.  The output looks like this:

    PROGRESS: Connecting to target 192.168.7.172:4455
    PROGRESS: Authenticating with target 192.168.7.172:4455
    PROGRESS: Encryption parameters verified
    PROGRESS: Authenticating with target credentials.
    PROGRESS: Successfully authenticated with target credentials.
    PROGRESS: Sending ssh key to target 192.168.7.172:4455
    PROGRESS: ssh key successfully transfered.
    PROGRESS: Succesfully Connected
    

    Blackberry connect program continues to run, and as long as it is running at this point the Simulator will be listening for SSH connections on port 22.

    At this point, I had to take the test_rsa (the private key) file and import it into Puttygen using Conversions-> import menu button.  Save the private key, and load the key in the pageant.

    Finally, normally connect using PuTTY at the address PCMGM and sign in as "devuser".  This was discovered by looking in the /accounts folder using a primitive file browser application, where I found two subfolders, 1000 / and devuser.

  • ESXi 5 - added user cannot connect ssh

    I am lost in the vast amount of documents and have not found anything that, covering thus pointers to docs command-line ESXi will be very appreciated...

    I added a user (with password) on a host machine ESXi 5.0.0 made the new user member of the users group and granted access the user's shell. I have double-double-checked access password and shell setting, but trying to connect to the host fails: login just repeat the password, and then closes the connection.  After logging in as root, I can su to the new user (password is not required). Am I misunderstanding something, maybe added users can not connect?  Or have I just missed some setting somewhere?

    $ ssh [email protected]
    Password:

    Suggestions, please, how to make it work?

    Advice on finding good documentation would be so awesome!

    You must add the new user to the root group in order to ssh. That opens a lot of other security issues as well. As an alternative, you can also change the following files to add a user ssh:

    /etc/security/access.conf

    Add a line that allows your user. For example, for the "bot" user add the following before the last line (-:ALL:ALL) in the file):

    +: bot: ALL

    Edit the following file:

    / etc/passwd

    Find your username in the line add a base directory, the works/tmp and then change their interpreter/bin/Ash. For the "bot" user you have a line like:

    BOT: x: 501:100:ESXi user: / tmp: / bin/ash

    You should now be able to ssh in the host by using your user name. The problem is that these files do not have the sticky bit set, so once you restart changes will disappear. You can change this behavior to have your settings persist, but I'll be here all day describing the process. You can probably find a good ventilation of the how to make your setting persist on vm-help forums.

  • simple trigger that allows users to connect at certain times

    I am trying to create a trigger that will allow some users only log in the database between 12 am-04:00.
    I can assign a trigger to a user or a role or how to parse out. I don't think I have this trigger just yet...

    Or it can be set in the database it self? I looked the user accounts, profiles, roles and do not see anything on the connection time.

    Your router provides firewall protection, so the need is not the same
    as if you had no a router. There are some who say you need to no.
    all firewall software.

    But my opinion is that you would be a lot safer if you have run a
    router software, and since there is little reason not to, I
    recommend that you do.

    Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP

    I agree.

    @OP Windows XP (SP2 and above), Vista, 7 and 8 all have active firewall software by default.

    There is no need of any 3rd party firewall.

    Some users like running programs such as ZoneAlarm because it warns him from the processes that use the network, and then there is the possibility to deny/allow it on the spot, or deny/allow forever. There may be slight discomfort in the installation, but once it's for all your programs, and then it really can work in silent mode.

    Microsoft Firewall simply leave everything default, but they can be configured manually to block anything outgoing or incoming.

  • Update 4.0 to esx 4.1.0 348481 can no longer connect in SSH

    Hello:

    I've recently updated 4 host esx 4.1.0.  I called them VM1, VM3 and VM5 VM7. I also installed a new physical server Vcenter. For one of the hosts, (VM1), I decided to do a fresh install using the CD. I am doing this for my own personal reason so I'm forced to redo a machine from scratch due to rehabilitation.

    For my 3 other hosts (VM3, VM5, VM7), I used the Update Manager tool, followed by documentation and some UTube tutorials. This seemed to work well. I had all the computers in a cluster, and they all worked without any problems.

    What I'm trying to do now is to install a component of Dell. Following the instructions for it, I ran into an issue with SSH. I can no longer connect SSH using PuTTY with the two previous accounts that I had before the upgrade.

    When you perform a new installation, I always create a 2nd account called vmadmin. I'm doing this on the same screen, he asks the password to root for the installation CD. Once I have installed host I use an article of Vmware to access SSH root (8375637 KB)

    Interstingly enough VM1 (installation of one I did costs since) allows me to connect in SSH using VMadmin... and roots. But the three hosts I upgraded using the Update Manager is no longer connect in SSH allows you to use one of the two accounts.

    Using Vcenter I can connect to the host directly using roots but is no longer it will allow the account vmadmin connect (permission denied).

    When I connect to the host using Vcenter, I see the vmadmin account. I tried to look at the properties on both my work (VM1) host computer and a work not to compare... but everything looks the same.

    Can anyone help with what do I do to fix this? and or add a question if I can respond to the need for additional information?

    Thank you

    I guess that you don't have a DRAC card in your server... otherwise, it is simple to access the console and resolve the problem.

    Have you try to connect to each host and add a new user?
