SIM/OpenSSH Installation Issue

[Steven J. Marty_2]

Hi,

I am trying to install the latest SIM v4.2 for the first time (to replace my sick IM7). As part of the install, OpenSSH v3.7.1p1-1 is installed.

When the installation of OpenSSH launches, it presents a "OpenSSH Service Logon As User" dialog box asking for an account and password.

The account I am logged in as is already filled in (but MINUS the domain). When I add the DOMAIN\, it does not accept my password. Instead, the message "The supplied password is not valid" is displayed.

I found some related threads but cannot get things to work with the domain account. The account is a local administrator and the machine is running Windows Server 2003.

Please, any help is appreciated.

Steve greetings. I also had issues with the OpenSSH issue as well. Give me a day or two to go through my notes that I took to correct the issues that I had and I will post them back OK.

Thanks

If I remember correctly, I added the server name in that blank.

I ended up creating a local account on the CMS server and making it an administrator.

On Windows 2000 Server the installer accepts to install under Local System but that is not allowed on Windows Server 2003.

I ended up installing OpenSSH logged in as local Administrator, nothing else worked for me.

I could however later change what user the OpenSSH service runs under from following the guidelines in "Secure Shell (SSH) in HP Systems Insight Manager".

I created a special domain account. I logged into the server with that account during the install process. I just specified the same account when asked for an account to use and it all went through perfectly fine with me.

I highly recommend that you are logged in with the account you intend SIM and all components of SIM to run with. The domain account will need to be a domain admin as well.

We have found this to be the only way to get everything to function correctly.
