Hi,
When I try to login with root by ssh to appliance it works fine.
However, when I try to login with root to https://ip_appliance:5480 it doesn't work.
I receivce the following error:
Unable to authenticate user. Please try again.
How can I resolve this problem?
My orchestrator version is 5.5.2945834
Login in Console of appliance using root account.
Type following command.
chage -M root 99999
try to then go to VAMI (5480) and login using root account.
same error...
this is the output of the command you suggest:
XXXXXXXXX:~ # chage -M 99999 root
Aging information not changed.
XXXXXXXXX:~ # chage root -l

interesting.
I have faced this issue multiple times with Suse Linux based virtual Appliances offered by VMware. almost in all the cases that command worked.
did you try running command using 'sudo'?
see if that helps.
what do you mean about sudo?
I run the command with root (by ssh)
i mean,
sudo chage -M 99999 root
use above command in appliance console login itself.
same situation...
restart the appliance, and try doing login in 5480.
I tried it several times.
Maybe the user I try to login by ssh is not the same user I use when connecting by 5480?
any other ideas?
