[gpfsug-discuss] Password to GUI forgotten

[Buterbaugh, Kevin L]

All,

Sorry - should’ve mentioned that:

/root
root at testnsd1# /usr/lpp/mmfs/gui/cli/chuser admin -p abc1231
EFSSG0001C Cannot validate option: login
/root
root at testnsd1# /usr/lpp/mmfs/gui/cli/lsuser -Y
lsuser:user:HEADER:version:reserved:reserved:Name:Long name:Password status:Group names:Failed login attempts:
/root
root at testnsd1#

Weird - it’s like the login doesn’t exist … but like I said, I had logged into it prior to November.  Thanks...

Kevin

The GUI password can be changed via command line using chuser.

/usr/lpp/mmfs/gui/cli/chuser

Usage is as follows (where userID = admin)


chuser userID  {-p <newPassword> | -l <longName> | -a <name_or_id> | -d <name_or_id> | -g <name_or_id> | --expirePassword} [-o <currentPassword>]

Hi All,

So this is embarrassing to admit but I was playing around with setting up the GPFS GUI on our test cluster earlier this fall.  However, I was gone pretty much the entire month of November for a combination of vacation and SC17 and the vacation was so relaxing that I’ve forgotten the admin password for the GPFS GUI.  :-(

Is there anything I can do to recover from this short of deleting the GPFS GUI related RPM’s, re-installing, and starting over from scratch?  If that’s what I have to do, it’s no big deal as this is just our little 6-node test cluster, but I thought I’d ask before going down that route.

Oh, and if someone has a way to accomplish this that they’d rather not share in a public mailing list for any reason, please feel free to e-mail me directly, let me know, and I won’t tell if you won’t tell (and hopefully Michael Flynn won’t tell either!)…. ;-)

Thanks…
