Hi, I am going through a strange issue. Please help me if anyone ever faced this issue before and have any resolution
I am able to login to the vCenter VAMI and by accessing the vCenter server Appliance Console (by pressing the button F2) with its root account. But I am unable to login with the same Root account, if I try to access it by putty session or by accessing the vCenter server Appliance Console command line (by pressing the button F1).
Putty session saying 'Access is Denied'.
vCenter server Appliance Console command line (by pressing the button F1) is not giving any error. After entering the root password it just going the same password prompt for enter it again.
I have already rebooted the vCenter server and checked. - Issue not resolved
I have reset the root password to different password and tried. - Issue not resolved
Logged a case with vendor and they told me this is the first time they are seeing this kind of issue and requested me to upload the vCenter logs which I did.
SSH enabled?
Thanks for your reply.
Yes, ssh and bash is enabled and tried.
