• the root account not working for vSphere Client 5.5, for SSH works fine

  Hey.

  I got this:

  I can connect to vCenter 5.5 by SSH and the root user and password works fine

  I can connect to vCenter 5.5 by vSphere Client and use domain user and everything works fine

  I cant't connection 5.5 by user of vSphere vCenter Client and use of root and the password. I have information on

  "Cannot complete the connection because username or password incorect.

  IM shure I use the right password for root.

  A suggestion?

  

  Ok. Thank you community vExpert and Lukasz of my team, we found easy reason perhaps, but not at the first glance for me

  We had the installer by default "Source of identity" for Active Directory then when I used only root for connection I got the error with wrong password.

  In this possible case is just to connect to vcenter using root@localos credintials.

  

  But in addition we sam of similar mistakes inside the SSO connects:

• Can access VCSA with the root account, but cannot access vSphere with the same root account

  I am able to connect to the VCSA (: 5480) with the created password for root, but I can't log in vSphere (: 9443) with this same root account).  It seems that the password has been correctly set, but weird that I can connect to one and not the other.  I recently improved bed and breakfast ESXi and VCSA version 5.5 Update 2, but don't think that should have an effect on.  Any suggestions?  Help, please.

  Understand the problem.  When you change the field by default to another identity source, you must type root@localos as the user name to use the root account.

  Is there a way to define the local root account on an ESXi host expire after 60 days?

  I already use AD authentication, but the root account is always available for use if the ad is not available to authenticate.  However, I don't want to just leave the root with the same password forever account to comply with the security policy.

  I've already updated my Mac OS to 10.9.4 and it was only until today that I wanted to use After Effects.

  This is not the administrator of the computer; rather, it is the administrator of your software licenses. Who distributed your Adobe software seems to have chosen the option in this distribution to disable updates. You will need to talk with them.

• Cannot access the vCSA 5.5 with the local root account

  We are upgrading from 5.0 to 5.5 U2 ESXi. By the checklist, I first upgraded vCSA to 5.5.

  The vCSA 5.5 upgrade gives me connection problems. I can connect to the admin of vSphere GUI (port 5480) and web client (port 9443) using the local account "root". However if I try to access it from an application (IE VUM or Backup Exec) vCSA credentials of the root get rejected (as if I use the username/password wrong name). No idea why? FYI, we are using Active Directory and embedded DB & SSO. I attach a screenshot of the summary page.

  Thank you! :-)

  If it was working earlier and you have changed the domain by default to a good AD/LDAP, you can try with the username "root@localos".

• ORA-12154 as user oracle, Pentecost root account, it works very well

  Hello
  
  I have a problem with a client installation, if I try to connect to the database. I have the following configuration:
  
  1 database: running on an Ubuntu Jeos VM, Oracle 11 g (11.1.0.6.0 version 64 bit)
  2. customer: running on a CentOS 5.2 VM, Oracle 10 g Linux 32-bit Client
  
  I have configured the tnsnames.ora and stored in the directory of $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin. The content of the tnsnames.ora file is the following:
  ORCL64 = (Description = (ADDRESS_LIST = (Address = (Protocol = TCP)(host=192.168.12.128) (port = 1521))) (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = ORCL)))
  
  If I try to connect to the database as the user oracle with the following command sqlplus SYS@ORCL64 AS SYSDBA, I will get the ORA-12154 TNS: could not resolve the connect identifier specified error message. If I try the same as the root user, it works fine and I can make the connection. I have the same result if I try the command tnsping ORCL64. As user root the tnsnames adapter can resolve the alias, as the oracle user this appears not possible and I will get the error message: TNS-03505: failed to resolve the name. In both it uses the setting from the file u01/app/oracle/network/admin/sqlnet.ora. The content of the sqlnet.ora file is the following:
  NAMES of . DIRECTORY_PATH = (TNSNAMES, EZCONNECT).
  
  Do you have any suggestions how can I solve this problem of having a connection with the oracle user.
  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  Thanks for your replies. On the CentOS machine, where the client is installed, there is no directory $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oracle and $ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl. The output of the $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin / * ora is:

  The 'client' reads the tnsnames.ora to determine where the database. Looking at t he above, you have a configuration in which the user name only client able to read the tnsnames.ora is the root user. Which means that you have run the netca or netmgr as root.

  Change the tnsnames.ora to provide the appropriate, perms and then try again.

• How to restore the root permission administrator account

  on a test lab, a host ESX 4, I accidentally changed permission to the root account to the Administrator role to the role of read-only on one of the virtual machines.  This is why, when I connect to the host as root via vSphere Client, I have read-only access to one of the virtual machines.  What is the best way to fix that and go back to the root to have the role of administrator?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Moved to the Security Forum.

  You must log in as root on the ESX or ESXi console and modify the /etc/vmware/hostd/authorizations.xml and the ACEDataRoleID to-1 instead of what it is.

• . VMDK copy with the non-root user account

  Hello

  On a machine of ESXi 3.5, I try to copy the files with a non-root account created

  I have same asigned this account non-root Administrator role

  I activated the SSH on the ESXi host

  The virtual machine is turned off

  With the non-root using winscp or plink with cp account I can copy the .log files and .vmx files but no other files

  When I log in to the root account can I copy all the files belonging to the virtual machine.

  Does anyone know what is the reason for this behavior?

  Any help greatly appreciated

  This is a permission problem.

  If you see the permission (for example with ls - l), you will see that only root has rw - for these files.

  You can change the permissions chmod g + rw File_List and add you're your root in Group (add entry in/etc/group).

• Find root password

  Upgrade to Mac OS Sierra and all my accounts now have Standard permissions, i.e. without administrator permissions.

  How I either upgrade my administrator account or find the password for Root?

  There is no root password. This is a disabled account. For good reasons.

  You can enable the root account, but that increases your risk of being hacked much, because the root is a known account that has unlimited privileges. Enabling root makes your Mac a rich target environment.

  But if that's how you want to live your life, Google "enable OS X root" and you will find several approaches.
