Can not connect with Root

Hello

Recently, our ESX sevrers were compliance verified against the

CIS VMware ESX Server 3.x

Reference v1.0

There was a lot of risk found as part of the audit and a remediation plan was given to follow, we did the server seems to work very well except that we can not login with root:

While intermediatery and PuTTY doin, we use the money account to log the SU to root, earleir he was working now it says Incorrect password .

Connection through the root of the Console says Login Incorrect ,

Any help to sort through and understand this issue would be much appreciated

OK, your first screenshot confirmed suggestion 1 will give the ability to su username to root.  There is even a custom comment you made, in the file etc/pam.d/su, above the line that I asked you to look: ' Uncomment the next line to allow users in the wheel group are authorized to who are allowed to become root.

1. in this case, just connect to the host with VI client root, go to the users tab and groups, among which the users regular (vmadmin is a certainty) that you are trying to su go, edit the user and add to the wheel group.  You should now be able to ssh or console (DRAC) for the ESX host and su (s) specific.

2. Once you are root you can ' cat/etc/securetty' the console and the vc/1, vc2, lines etc. must be missing.  The missing lines from you to connect to the consle (DRAC) as root. If you want to keep the sanitation of CIS, you don't have to make other changes, in addition to 1 above.

Let me know if you have any questions.

  • Help, I changed the password of root ESXi via powerCli, now I can not connect with the web client or the console.

    Help, I've changed the root ESXi via powerCli password, now I can not connect with the web client or the console, but I can still connect to powerCli. The command I used was;

    SE connect-VIServer esxihostname-user root - password newpasswd

    This production network btw, I have connected to each host and run the above command, these ESXi hosts are not on a domain

    y at - it something I have left out. I really appreciate any assistance that you people can provide.

    Thank you, Joe

    It is probably a longshot, but a lot of things in the land of windows is not sensitive to capital letters as Unix is.  I wonder if your new password you put through powerCLI mixed uppercase in it and if the capitalization was abandoned by command windows powerCLI Analyzer, or he interpreted as all capitals or something.   If you can still get through the powerCLI you could try to reset the password again to something simple without capitalization mixed case and if your password on ESXi strategy requires a special character, try something different than a "$", like a "_" (I find that a '_' is less likely than some other special characters (, as a '-' or a ' / ' to cause problems with analyzers.).

    Edit:

    Another thing, you can try before playing with the password once again, is to create a different username ESXi using powerCLI and see if the password ends up what you think, it should be, and if you can get with the client vsphere using it.  In this way, you can find out if there are some problems with certain characters or Cap through command powerCLI Analyzer without losing your remaining root by powerCLI access.  After some tests, you can understand what went wrong with your initial password change and may be able to fix it with less risk of losing access.  I also assume that you can not create a new username on ESXi who is able to change the root password no matter what authority give you it, otherwise, you could create a new username with PowerCLI, then connect to the client vsphere with it and change the password to root from there.

    Hello

    1st thing to try is the system in safe mode restore to before the problem

    http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm

    Windows Vista

    Using the F8 method:

    1. Restart your computer.
    2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap theF8 key repeatedly until you are presented with theBoot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
    3. Select the Safe Mode option with the arrow keys.
    4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
    5. To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.
    6. Do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.

    When you log on a Windows Vista-based or a Windows 7 computer by using a temporary profile, you receive the following error message:

    The user profile Service has not logon. User profile cannot be loaded.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/947215#letmefixit

    Your user profile was not loaded correctly! You have been logged on with a temporary profile.

    If you tried to log on to Windows and received an error message telling you that your user profile is damaged, you can try to fix it. You will need to create a new profile and then copy the files from the existing to the new profile. You must have at least three user accounts on the computer to perform these operations, including the new account that you created.

    Hello Renato.

    also, it shouldn't make a difference, because your access list allows any last statement, try and add the following line to your access list:

    access list 103 permit tcp a whole Workbench

    access list 103 permit tcp any newspaper host 201.1.1.222 eq ftp

    --> access list 103 permit tcp any what newspaper of host 201.1.1.222 eq ftp - data

    access list 103 permit tcp any newspaper host 200.2.2.222 eq ftp

    --> access list 103 permit tcp any what newspaper of host 200.2.2.222 eq ftp - data

    access list 103 permit tcp any any 0 65365 range journal

    access-list 103 allow udp everything any 0 65365 Beach

    access-list 103 permit icmp any any newspaper

    access-list 103 permit ip any any newspaper

    Also, try to remove the access list together and see if that makes a difference...

    Kind regards

  • can not connect with the server.

    I can't connect to the internet. WI - FI connected and at full power. This just happened and it's never happened before.

    Hi, it seems that there is a problem with the connection between your router and the dsl modem. Make sure the pin of the Ethernet cable is plugged correctly in any LAN port available on DSL Modem and on the WLAN port in the Wifi router.

    Go to 192.168.0.1, run the installation/quick installation program from this interface and make sure that you preferred DNS address type 192.168.1.1 or default of the DSL Modem ip address if you know it's different.

    It is always a good thing to restart both the DSL/ADSL Modem wireless router periodically to refresh the system and you will face less problems like the one you face now. If both modems are enabled for quiet a long time, it can either be hanged or perhaps become hot to damaged. So reboot them once quiet often when not on duty.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones can not connect with BlackBerry servewr

    Today, for the first time, my Curve 9300 unable to connect with the e-mail server. I do not receive my mails and can not delete and enter setup new email accounts.

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    With a strong carrier network (for example, not only WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2, each should result in a message from your BB... Please wait just before moving on to the next step):

    1) register HRT

    • Please wait a 'registration' message reach your Messages application

    2) Remove and return Service books

    • KB05000 Remove the maintenance book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account in the BlackBerry smartphone
    • If you do not have access CMIME, continue deleting

    • Please wait "the Activation' Messages, one per already configured e-mail account, arrive in your Messages. If you have not already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.

    3) restart

    • With power ON, remove the hood back and remove the battery. Wait a minute, then replace the battery and cover. Power on and wait patiently through the long reboot - about 5 minutes.
    • See if things return to functioning. Like all computing devices, BB suffers from memory leaks and others... with a hard reboot is the best remedy.

    I hope that will move things again for you! If not, then you should try remove and re-add your configurations for the relevant accounts. Otherwise, you should contact your mobile provider for formal support.

    Good luck!
