LCM Database Passphrase

Hi all,

I have run into a bit of an issue that requires me to manually install components on my IaaS node.. however it eventually gets to the point of asking for the vRA db passphrase.  The LCM form never asks to input this and I have tried the passwords used during the deployment and none of which work.

I am hoping there is a way to retrieve this passphrase (that was mysteriously set) or else i foresee a complete teardown and rebuild.  If this is the case, I can see this irritating a lot of customers!

Someone please help!

Thanks

What components are you attempting to install and what version of vRA are you working with?

Are you unable to use LCM to install additional components?

From memory it as was the proxy agent, but could have been the web components.

Version is 7.6, had the same issue in 7.5 as well.
