Default console username and password on XOA Appliance

hitechhillbilly

Hello,

I downloaded the XOA appliance and imported it into my host without issues. However, when I go to log into the console (KVM) the default xoa/xoa is not working. I assume this is the correct credentials?

@hitechhillbilly You should read the documentation.

@hitechhillbilly If you are trying to log in on the XCP console (or adding it to XOA) then it's root and the password you assigned.

@Andrew I did read the documentation which is where I found the xoa / xoa username and password combo, but this is not working. This is a freshly downloaded appliance XVA so there was no "setting up".

Andrew

@hitechhillbilly Default user is admin@admin.net with admin as a password, not xoa.

@Andrew I know thats the default login for the web console, I am having issues getting in here. I tried logging in with admin@admin.net and xoa to show what I mean.

Andrew

@hitechhillbilly I understand now.... The login is for the web interface.

Read this about setting an XOA VM console password.

@Andrew Your link doesn't really address the question. xoa would be the username and the password is the same as what was setup during xoa creation -- or as your link helpfully pointed out -- you could reset the xoa system user password and go from there.

I need to become the root user in xoa. What is the root password? I've tried root/root but it doesn't work and it isn't in the documentation. I need to change the network interface for xoa.

Hi!

It is documented See https://xen-orchestra.com/docs/xoa.html#first-console-connection

Specifically the "Using sudo" part: https://xen-orchestra.com/docs/xoa.html#using-sudo

In short, as soon you are logged with your xoa user, sudo -s to drop a root shell and you can do whatever you need as root.

@olivierlambert Hey thanks a lot for that tip.
