Trying to login from Browser to Skyline Server as root and it will not let me get past the following error: ! AD authentication not configured We do not have that configured and have not had it configured in the past and we've always been able to login.

We do not know the old admin password for VMware Skyline Health Diagnostics. I tried to reset admin password on backend but no one recalls it.  What steps can I take to create new password for the admin account? I have access to root ID on server.

We’re pleased to announce a new VMware Skyline Advisor Pro release with support for SaaS subscriptions, including vSphere+, vSAN+, and vCF+ support, and new proactive Findings. If you have Auto Upgrade enabled, your Skyline Collector will automatically update.     A summary of the new features is below. For additional details review the Skyline Advisor Release Notes.  Log into Skyline Advisor Pro today to see the new enhancements!        New Feature Highlights:       SaaS Subscription Support  Customers with VMware SaaS subscriptions, including vSphere+, vSAN+, and vCF+ can now use Skyline Advisor Pro. Currently, the VMware Production Support level is assigned to all active SaaS subscriptions. When both an Entitlement Account and a SaaS Subscription are present, Skyline access is based on the highest Entitlement Account level. To access Skyline, at least one Entitlement Account or SaaS subscription needs to be active or linked. A grace period of 60 days is activated after the last Entitlement Account or SaaS subscription expires. During this time, you can assign an active Entitlement Account or new SaaS subscription to continue Skyline operations. Otherwise, the service will enter a deactivated state. View information about your current EA and SaaS subscriptions on the Advisor Pro Dashboard. Learn more  New Proactive Findings    Several new proactive Findings have been released, including security vulnerabilities, trending support issues and more. Read more about the new Findings in the blog post.    If you have questions about any of these announcements, please visit the Skyline Community.        Skyline Collector Tip: Note that if your Collectors are running v3.1, you must manually upgrade them, due to an issue in how the proxy configuration is propagated from the Skyline UI through the backend service to the OS level. This has been resolved in subsequent Collector versions, and the Auto Upgrade function works as intended. Please refer to step-by-step manual upgrade instructions in this KB. We strongly recommend running the latest Skyline Collector version v3.4 to take advantage of all Skyline features. P.S.
