SSH in Lifecycle Manager 2.0

[dg_vmware]

Hi,

I have just started installing Lifecycle Manager 2.0 for the first time. I have enabled SSH and set a password for ''root'' (on the Settings page under ''Common Settings of vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager) but when trying to login via Putty I get an ''Access Denied''. I can use ''root'' and the password to login to the console. Any ideas?

I'm glad I'm not the only one 🙂 I have opened a support request with VMware, will let you know the outcome.

There is a kb for similar issue. Kindly refer VMware Knowledge Base  . Are you able to ssh using cli ?

The Solution I got from VMWare is to add the root user to the wheel group. Now it works.
