SSH without password ESXi for Linux

Someone knows how to do it successfully SSH of ESXi for Linux?  The following link describes the steps to get SSH working PuTTY or an external orifice to ESXi.  I tried to reverse the steps a bit to make it work on the other hand, but it doesn't seem to work.

http://communities.VMware.com/docs/doc-8890

Thank you.

In this, it's kinda funny.  Dropbear has the ability to create a pair of valid keys, but theres no real binary ssh in ESXi.  However, you can get there.

(1) ' create' a ssh a symbolic link to dropbear: ln-s/sbin/dropbearmulti/bin/ssh

(2) create a key pair: dropbearkey - dss f privatekeyfile - taha 1024. You'll find yourself with a file in the current directory, called "privatekeyfile" and the system will display a public key SSH format on the screen:

~ # dropbearkey - dss private f TS 1024
Will display 1024-bit dss secret key "Private".
Generate keys, this can take some time...
Part of public key is:
SSH - dss AAAAB3NzaC1kc3MAAACBAJbXscSKNxkxs3NYfMgMLs8tsh3iio9vFN3fzq8/5HrsgcGK3gHc + SQlLmhtP... hostname. Domain
Copy all lines of this from "ssh - dss" through the end of 'hostname.domain"in your Clipboard.
(3) add this public key copied to your host Linux at the right place - usually ~/.ssh/authorized_keys:
linuxhost % cat .ssh/authorized_keys
SSH - dss AAAAB3NzaC1kc3MAAACBANPYWCXvqAVK95Xa0qM1rUPM7h2CWB85d2Qk3paYsRU6x...
(4) now use the private key to ensure that it works in ESXi:
~ # ssh-i privatekeyfile [email protected]
Last login: kills Apr 12 15:01:15 the domain.lan 2011
[user@host] (Linux 2.6.18 - 194.26.1.el5)

Life is good!

    You can have the file/etc/ssh/ssh_config, where the default port is set at 22. Replace with 7547 and try ssh racnode1 "date; hostname". If it works, then it contains the definition, you may need to perform.

  • Establishing a Session SSH without password

    Hello

    I am trying to establish a SSH session on my server ESXi 5 so that I can run scripts unattended. I use Putty on a dedicated VM WinXP I do all my scripts in. Can easily establish a session to my HOST using PuTTY, I want to do without having to type my root password. It's just a small environment and I am the only admin.

    I've followed this blog post:

    http://blogs.VMware.com/vSphere/2012/07/enabling-password-free-SSH-access-on-ESXi-50.html

    I completed all the steps correctly, but I'm always invited a PW information. I think the problem is that I don't have the public key copied on my windows computer where I set my SSH session of and the article does not explain how to do it.

    Am I wrong? I am a novice with UNIX and VM for that matter and hit the 'wall' so to speak on this subject. Can anyone help? Thank you.

    Brian

    You need generate a public and private key on Windows using puttygen. You must then copy the public key to your ESXi (.ssh/authorized_keys) host.

    You then need to configure the PuTTY on how to use the private key and you will be able to connect via SSH without password.

    I suggest you use https://hkn.eecs.berkeley.edu/~dhsu/ssh_public_key_howto.html as a guide.

  • [INS-06006] Connectivity SSH without password do not put in place between the following nodes.

    Hello

    I'm currently building the cluster by RAC 11 GR 2. I try to install Oracle Grid Infrastructure Oracle Linux 6.4 (x86_64bit) machine - node1.abc.com.

    I'm at the stage of the "Cluster Node Information" where I have to provide me with the list of nodes to be managed by the Oracle grid Infrastructure. Currently I have added just me - node1.abc.com with the name of the virtual IP address - node1 - vip.abc.com. The two host name and virtual IP addresses are registered on the DNS server - it is also installed on node 1. Before adding the second node2.abc.com, I was testing SSH connection but it fails. I clicked the [SSH_Connectivity...] button and in the OS Username (grid) and his password. When I press the [Setup] button, it pops up message successful "Able to establish connectivity SSH without password between selected nodes." But when I click on the [Test] button or the [next] button, I get error - ' connectivity [INS-06006] SSH without password, do not put in place between the following nodes: [node 1].» What is the problem and what exactly to do to avoid this error?


    Thank you

    It was because I assigned a real static IP address for the second NIC eth1. With this affected YES wouldn't let you go to the next screen. So I had to remove NIC out of my laptop. But if eth1 is not resolved by the DNS name it also gives you errors. So I guess a correct functioning is I would sign up eth0 and eth1 to the DNS server but eth1 does not have real IP. Then I could go to the next screen.

  • Authentication of SSH without password on a PIX

    now, if you have configured aaa on the pix and specified an aaa for the role of authentication server when ssh is done "'authentication aaa ssh console LOCAL SecurityACS1111'...". then the username and passwords of the Ali database should be provided when ssh is done.

    If you have specified LOCAL as an authentication method, then the database username and password configured in the configuration of the firewall will be used for the purposes of authentication.

  • This will destroy our setup SSH without password?

    Version of the operating system: Solaris 5.10

    We have a 2 RAC of Production on Machines A and B Environment node. Every day we want to move some files to A backup server called C. Our FTP ports are disabled due to a security policy. SCP only will work.

    SCP does not work with passwords. I need to implement SSH without password between A and C. So, I need to create a new file authorized_keys in C? What should I do in Machine a side? He already has a folder called
    authorized_keys
    file that contains "keys" of nodes A and b. should create a new file authorized_keys with a different filename as
    authorized_keys2 
    in both machines (A and C)?

    No need to delete the existing configuration - add just the public key of the node A to the keystore allowed on node C. You should already have an id_rsa.pub on node A in the user .ssh directory. Just copy to node C and add the content to the authorized_keys on node C for the user you connect as (do not replace the content). Just be sure that you use the existing key and do re - NOT generate keys using ssh-keygen, as who will scan your existing key and break the ssh between node A and node B.

    Implies that the user will be the same on the server - if it isn't (that is, using 'oracle' on node A and "backupguy" on node C), then you have to just put the file id_rsa.pub oracle of node A in the authorized_keys of backupguy on node C. In addition, with different users across nodes, you must specify a user:

    SCP filename backupguy@nodec:/path/to/backup/files

    That should be simple!

    On node1, were among other id_rsa id_rsa.pub and identity and identity.pub. But on Node2, there was only identities and the identity.pub.

    any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    When you configure the RAC, it is a mandatory task to configure connectivity without password SSH (Secure Shell) between the nodes. SSH connectivity configuration is essential among the nodes of a cluster because the YES program uses the ssh and scp commands internally during the installation stage to perform remote operations, in which it copies the software from local to other nodes.

    I suggest that you try once more configuration. I give below steps:

    (1), log in as the Oracle user on the first node in the cluster (in our example, it will be on the raclinux1) and execute the following sequence of commands:

    [orac1e@raclinux1]-$ mkdir ~/.ssh

    [orac1e@raclinux1]-$ chmod 700 ~/.ssh

    [orac1e@raclinux1]-$/usr/bin/ssh-keygen t rsa

    Generate the key pair public/private rsa.

    Enter file in which to save the key (/ home/oracle/.ssh/id_rsa):

    Enter the password (empty without password): enter same password again:

    Your identification has been recorded in /home/oracle/.ssh/id rsa.

    Your public key has been saved in home/oracle/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.

    The fingerprint of the key is: f0:89:ac:ba:83:31:c4:43:97:3e:9's: a5:60:c1:8e:e6 [email protected]

    (2) when the system asks you the location of the key, accept the default settings by pressing the Enter key. Once this configuration is done on the first node, repeat the same steps on the rest of the nodes (in our example, repeat the same step on the raclinux2 node).

    (3) now, switch back to the first node (raclinux1) and run the following command to add the authorization keys. After you add the authorization keys, copy the file authorized_keys to other nodes by using the scp command, and enter Yes when prompted.

    [orac1e@raclinux1]-$ cd ~/.ssh

    [orac1e@raclinux1]-$ cat id rsa.pub > authorized_keys]

    [orac1e@raclinux1]-$ scp raclinux2:/home/oracle/.ssh authorized_keys

    The authenticity of host ' raclinux2 (192.168.2.202) cannot be established.

    Of the key RSA is 52:13:31:e8: this: ec:47:b8:06:09:4 b: c9:aa:c5:35:81.

    Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? Yes

    Oracle@raclinux2's password:

    authorized keys 100% 406 0.4K8/s 00:00

    (4) now go back to the second node, (raclinux2) and run the following command:

    [orac1e@raclinux2]-$ cd ~/.ssh

    [orac1e@raclinux2]-$ cat id rsa.pub > authorized_keys]

    [orac1e@raclinux2]-$ scp raclinux1:/home/oracle/.ssh authorized_keys

    The authenticity of host ' raclinux2 (192.168.2.201) cannot be established.

    (5) after you add the authorization on the second node keys, copy the file to the other nodes using the command scp, as shown in the previous example and enter Yes when you are prompted.

    (6) after setting up the SSH installation successfully through all the nodes, we will perform the following test on each node, from the first node to connect without password between all nodes to follow the recommendations of the Oracle:

  • Without password ssh does not work but the ACR is fine!

    Version: 11.2
    Operating system platform: AIX 6.1

    Background:
    For stand-alone installations DB, we use the oracle of the LDAP user as the owner of the Oracle software. This oracle user is not in/etc/passwd

    For the CAR, a local user of oracle is mandatory and we created and installed grid and DB several months ago. Everything worked. Today when I made a ssh of Node1 Node2, is asking for password oracle. IE Passwordless ssh does not work


    I have connected to the instance1 and ran
    select instance_name, host_name from gv$instance;
    This is the list of instance names and host names. How is the feature CAR is still intact without SSH without password?

    Hello

    So, what you are implying, is that, user equivalence is required for Installation, but not so required for the feature CARS. Right?

    RAC will work without problem and CARS not use SSH, but resource "ora.cvu" of Oracle Clusterware using SSH for healthcheck.
    When you run '. " "/ cluvfy" is mandatory you have ssh configured with equivalence of the user, the 'ora.cvu' resource is "cluvfy.

    So, if someone deletes the directory .ssh mistakenly Oracle $HOME, RAC feature pourrait still work?

    Yes... CARS doesn't always work. SSH and Oracle Clusterware, Oracle Clusterware also still works without problem, have a low dependency.

    As RAC FAQ mentioned is mandatory present an equivalent user (ssh, etc.) set up after the installation of the PAP/GRID.

  • 6u2 ESXi host nested on VMware Workstation for Linux referee v12

    Hello all, I have

    I have a lab environment virtual running in VMware Workstation for Linux v12, and my ESXi hosts do not work correctly on one of the virtual networks. All my troubleshooting suggests a problem with nested ESXi hosts that may be a bug, but I want to assure you that I did everything properly first. That's why I post here with the hope that if I made a mistake that maybe someone else can point out he me.

    Physical system

    8 core Intel Xeon 2.1 GHz CPU

    128 GB of RAM

    OS - kernel Linux 64 - bit w/3.19.0-32-generic Linux Mint 17.3 (fully updated from this announcement)

    VMware Workstation 12 Pro - 12.1.1. Build-3770994 (fully updated from this announcement)

    Nested ESXi host VM

    ESXi v6.0.0 (Build 3825889, completely updated from this announcement)

    4 cards 'physical' (only 3 used for now)

    -all use the e1000 NIC hardware virtual, but also tried vmxnet3 NIC with no difference

    -vSwitch0 use vmnic0 & 1 vmnet16 of virtual network in a pair of active / standby

    -vSwitch1 uses vmnic2 on network virtual vmnet18

    -vmk0 used for management on vSwitch0 and vmk1 for iSCSI on vSwitch1

    -"Promiscuous" mode and forged passes enabled on all Port vSwitch groups (activating or turning off these features makes no difference)

    Test performed until now

    I checked that all the IP addresses and network masks used are correct.

    With the help of vmkping I ping other nodes on the network vmnet16 with success.

    With the help of vmkping I tried to ping the other nodes in the network vmnet18, but that has failed.

    I have depolyed other non - ESXi VMs on the vmnet18 network, and they are able to ping each other, but are unable to ping or ping by the ESXI host.

    I tried various material virtual NIC as mentioned before, but without changes in the results.

    I tried to use only local network instead of the vmnet18 guest network segments with no change in results.

    When I find out the status of the network adapters on the ESXi host through vCenter or host incorporated client vmnic0 & 1 time display network information, but vmnic2 shows no networks. Yet, I know that there is a network with different VM communicate on it. Moreover, I was able to get all of this work on a Windows system running 10 Workstation (this is the laptop that my employer gives me with).

    Having built nested ESXi labs on different platforms as well as physical environments in the past, I'm very confused as to why I can't get this special configuration to work. At this point my gut tells me that this is probably a bug any with the nested themselves ESXi hosts. Since I can get all this work on vmnet16 including the management of ESXi hosts and the VCSA that I use, I am sure that my vSwitch configuration is correct (other than the IP address space and vmnic configurations is bascially the same). Because I can get other virtual machines to communicate over the network vmnet18 I don't see how can be a VMware Workstation for the issue physical Linux host. Is there something obvious I'm missing here? I read on the ESXi hosts nested under VMware Workstation after having known problems and bugs with networking. If anyone else has experienced this?

    Thanks for any help others can provide!

    Kind regards

    Patrick

    Well, the problem is now resolved. The problem was what covelli was trying to explain, but I couldn't because the physical host network adapters being mentioned.

    The problem on the Linux host, but it was a problem of permissions with the virtual Ethernet adapters. The following article has the fix:
    With the help of Ethernet virtual cards in Promiscuous Mode on a Linux host (287) | VMware KB

    Even if I launched the workstation under the root user I have yet met this problem and which still makes no sense to me, but change the permissions solve the problem. I was not getting an error message on my Linux Mint and Ubuntu system, but when I tried on a second box of Linux Mint that I just got the error has been generated, and the error message was the above link it contains.

    So, here's what I learned:

    (1) the question has nothing to with a VMware Workstation definition that you can configure.

    (2) the question has nothing to do with a physical network card.
    (3) the question has nothing to do with any vmnic on the nested ESXi host.

    (4) apparently virtual Ethernet adapters are not the correct permissions when created.

    All you have to do to fix this is:

    (1) open a terminal.

    (2) run the command ' sudo chmod a + rw/dev/vmnet * "(don't forget to run this each time that you create a new virtual network).

    You can also create a group, as shown in the link above and simply give this group the correct permissions. Personally, I think it's easier to just give everyone the rw permission.

    I appreciate the help that others have offered. I did not understand what was asked for in previous answers because of the terms that have been used.

  • Download Firefox for Linux without Adblock and other extensions

    I have a problem downloading of an adapted version of Firefox for Linux to run on a Knoppix Live DVD system, for use in the trial publishable extensions I developed under Windows. (This isn't a development question extension, however, just a problem downloading and the FF configuration properly).

    I was surprised as the current (FF40) and anterior (FF34) version for Linux come with 3 extensions installed permanently - NoScript, Adblock Plus and FoxyProxy Standard. They apparently cannot be uninstalled, even if they can be disabled.

    I read online in various forums that Adblock Plus is a hog memory and that she, in particular, as well as NoScript, may adversely affect the values with legitimate code on Web sites and extensions. I also read complaints from users who disable Adblock Plus does not remove all its effects.

    During my tests I had problems that I thought were the result of Adblock Plus, so I turned off and restart the browser. The situation is greatly improved, but there are still some problems that may or may not be related to the shortage of memory.

    The question is this: I want to download versions 'clean' FF for Linux without these extensions part 3 installed, for more conclusive tests, but have not found a way to do it.

    I'm also curious as to why these extensions are 'forced' on Linux users. (I hope that never happens on Windows, or I could become a less committed user of the FF).

    Firefox any version for Linux, Mac OSX and Windows www.mozilla.org or www.mozilla.org/firefox/all doesn't come with all Extensions.

    You already had these extensions installed in Firefox profile, you use with Firefox.

    All three of these Extensions are by a third author (s) and not by Mozilla.

  • Is that a way firefox will store the information of user name for a site without password information?

    some other browsers allow a user name to be automatically filled in and saved so you just enter a password. It seems that Firefox does not have this option. Is that a way firefox will store the information of user name for a site without password information?

    This works! Thank you very much.

    MN - 700 router worked for a while (over 3 years) without password. How to set a password?

    MN - 700 router worked for a while (over 3 years) without password. How to set a password?

    This is a pretty old router, but documentation is still available from Microsoft:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/902461 the 'Guide' is more complete, but the "Base Station Configuration Guide" will explain how to configure the router.

    I guess what you mean by a "password" is the password for the wireless encryption (there is also a password that controls access to the router configuration utility). The following are the basic steps to configure wireless encryption (see the documentation for more details and screenshots):

    1. utility access to the router configuration, preferably with a computer connected to the router with an Ethernet cable (if you change your wireless security, the parameters using a computer connected to the router by wireless, the connection will be abandoned as soon as you click APPLY).  Open a web browser and type 192.168.2.1 in the browser address box.  If you have not changed the logon password, enter 'admin' (without the quotes, all lowercase).

    2. click on the "Security" link on the home page of the configuration tool, then "Wireless Security".

    3. Select the "niveau_chiffrement" in the combo box to "256-bit WPA - PSK (louder)" - unless all of your wireless devices are so old they don't support WEP (unusual for a wifi device years less than 5 or 6).

    4. in the box, type a password (between 8 and 63 characters), and then click 'apply '. at this point, you will be disconnected from the router (and the Internet) If you did the above changes using a computer connected to the router WiFi.   Write the password in a place where you don't forget.

    5. close router configuration utility.

    To set up your wireless computers:

    6. open network connections (start > run > ncpa.cpl > OK)

    7. right click on your wireless adapter icon and select Properties.

    8. click on the wireless networks tab

    9. make sure the box at the top next to "use Windows to configure my wireless."

    10. in the list of "Preferred networks", select the entry to your router (your network name), click on 'delete '.  [This deletes the entry from your wireless network WITHOUT a password, so that you will be able to add an entry for a network with the same name WITH a password.]

    11. click on the view wireless networks"" button.

    12. the name of your network should appear in the list of wireless networks.  Select it and click "connect". When you are prompted for the password, enter the WPA password set in the router configuration.

    13. open a web browser and confirm that you can access the Internet.
