Access

The appliance is accessible through Secure Shell (SSH) using a terminal emulator of your choice. The appliance ships with three predefined user accounts.Names and passwords are case sensitive.

• root
• comcert
• third one depending on the applications

For example, if the application is nGeniusONE Server, this user would be Administrator.

• User root can only access the appliance via CLI. SSH is disabled for that account
• User comcert is reserved for COMCERT staff members
• The application specific user has administator rights and can sudo to root, so this is the user you should use

# ssh -l Administrator <IPaddress(V)PMA-45>

 

Reboot and halt

 

 

To reboot:

$ sudo su -
# shutdown -r now

It will take several minutes before the application is available again.

To halt:

$ sudo su - 
# shutdown -h now

 

VMware tools

VMware tools are not installed on the VPMA-45.
