Any ideas? Thanks

putty Network Error-Connection Refused

jfvet — Mon, 11 Mar 2019 18:49:04 GMT

VMware ESXi, 6.5.0, 11925212

PuTTY Release 0.70

When attempting to connect to various ESXi 6.5 hosts receiving message: Network error: Connection refused. This is recent behavior, previously successful connecting with putty client.

System > Security Profile > SSH service running on host
Able to establish SSH connection by using localhost login on host
Able to establish SSH connection by using Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.6, ONLY ONCE
- then will receive Connection refused error
- after rebooting ESXi host able to establish a ssh session through RHEL, but subsequent logins will fail
No firewalls between clients and servers
Followed KB (1039095) and modified /var/run/inetd.conf per article
Per Community Discussion modified PuTTY, Connection > SSH > Kex”. Selected “Diffie-Hellman group exchange” and moved to the bottom of the list, so it is not used
sshd.conf > MaxStartups 10:30:60
Nothing modified in /etc/ssh/ssh.config or sshd.config

I had installed Dell OpenManage at one point, but currently OpenManage server has been un-associated from the vCenter server and the OpenMange server is powered off.

Attached are the outputs from successful and failed ssh -vvv sessions.

Any ideas? Thanks

Re: Unable to access Platform Services Controller Web interface

Mark, thanks for the clarification.

As an FYI, I was unable to log into the VMware Management page as Administrator@xxx.local.

I was able to log in after adding another account with administrator privileges to the Single Sign-On SystemConfiguration.BashShellAdministrators group, although the Administrator account was part of the group.

Re: Unable to log into vCenter 6.7 VMware Appliance Management page

Here is what I did as a workaround.

In the vSphere Web Client I added an Administrative user.

Then added that user to the SystemConfiguration.BashShellAdministrators group.

I was then able to use that user to log into the vCenter Server Appliance Management portal.

Installed vCenter using an I.P. address

jfvet — Tue, 31 Jul 2018 18:15:00 GMT

Maybe I jumped the gun here.

I deployed vCenter Server appliance 6.7 with an embedded platform services controller using an I.P address thinking I could change it once I had the FQDN.

After doing a bit of research, I came across this KB:

Cannot change the vCenter Server or Platform Service Controller 6.x hostname (2130599)

Any workarounds, or should I begin again with the FQDN? Need for this to be a rock solid deployment.

Thanks.

Hello,

Able to log into the console and SSH sessions using the root credentials.

Not able to log into the VMware Appliance Management portal, receiving the error: Unable to login.

If I fat finger the password on the portal page, then I receive the error message: Unable to authenticate user.

The security setting on the browser have TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and TLS 1.2 turned on.

vCenter 6.7 fresh vCenter Server Appliance install with an embedded Platform Services Controller on a 6.5 ESXi host.

Stage 1: Deploy appliance - Completed successfully

Stage 2: Configure appliance - Completed sucessfully

When I try to log in as root on the VMware Appliance Management web:5480 page using the IP address of the server, I receive the error. Unable to login, NOT the error Unable to authenticate user. I can successfully log in using the console with root credentials. Used a variety of browsers and validated security settings. Any ideas?
