Hello, I have YubiRADIUS VA 3.6.1 running on my VMWare environment. I cannot sign in to either they "yubikey" OR the "root" account for the Virtual Appliance. I see there is a patch regarding this issue - but the patch says to sign into root as the first step. When I attempt to sign into root using the credentials found in the Configuration guide (U:root/P:yubico) I get "Authentication failure". Please assist |

What I did is login to the Yubikey account, as explained in my other post. Just click the Yubikey user in the opening screen and provide the password : yubico The login will show 3 popups with errors, just click okay, ignore or whatever button is available. When the popups are no longer on your screen you will be left with an empty desktop, just a mouse pointer. Now press ALT-F2 on your keybord, this will open another popup. In the textbox type : xterm and press enter. This will give you a bash shell. In the bash shell type : mkdir /home/yubikey Then type : chown -R yubikey.users /home/yubikey Then type : sudo reboot After the machine is rebooted you can logint without errors using the yubikey account. Extra tip : Getting into a bash shell is always the first thing I do, even if theres no problems. From the bash shell I type : passwd Then I provide the old password and twice a new password for the yubikey account. Then I type : sudo su This will gain me root access. Again I type : passwd Now I type a new password for the root account twice. There, security in an instance. |
