How to change the "root" password ?

How can i change the root password on solaris 11. i tried it with "sudo passwd root ". and everthing should be ok, but i can´t login over ssh with the user "root " and the new password .
Thank Chris

Under Solaris 11 root is a role, not an account. This means that you cannot log into the machine as root. You have to log in using a different account and then gain privileges using su, sudo or pfexec. You can convert root to a normal account using the command:
rolemod -K type=normal root
however, root was made a role for legitimate security reasons. If you can avoid changing root to a normal account you should probably do so because it provides an additional layer of security for the rather overpowered root account.
If you want ssh access to the converted root account, you also need to configure the ssh server to allow root logins by enabling the PermitRootLogins statement in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file. Again, remember that doing this is loosening security on the root account.

  • Can local admin change the root password in Mavericks

    One of my people and I keep going back and forth with this question. I remember reading somewhere (cannot find it now) that in 10.9 Apple changed it, so a local admin could not longer change the root password if it has been enabled by the IT group.

    AFAIK, any admin account user can set/change the root password. See OS X Mavericks: Enable and disable the root user for details. If you or IT don't trust your people, don't give them admin privileges.

    Hi, I have even the worst problem,
    that seems probably to to be never asked on Internet. After quick learning how to reset this creapy device, I can't get by no means the enable password in default config for this box, having read everywhere from Cisco guide through community pages to Google pages.. NOWHERE.
    Question is : what else except Cisco, cisco, root, password... can solve this stupid issue?!? I expect some guru from responsible AP BU to answer this with definite answer, or someone from Cisco having mercy with me to contact such guy(s).
    Here is my desperate situation :

  • How to change the Portal Password using a link from Web dynpro application

    Hello Everybody,
    I have a requirement to change the user password from a web dynpro application which is available on a mobile device. Firstly User will log into the portal through a mobile device and after getting authenticated user will be redirected to the mobile application. Within this mobile application there will be a link to change the login password(Portal login). Can somebody tell me how can i change the portal login password from a link available within the mobile application. Looking forward for a suitable reply.
    Thanks to all,
    Regards,
    Saby.

    Hi Maksim,
    Thanks for your reply..but i would also like to know can we directly use the Change Password Iview "persoUserPassword" from the portal. Can i directly Pass the URL of this iview from the portal to a "Change Password" link in the web dynpro application, so that when the user click this link he should be able to see this Iview on his/her mobile device and should be able to change the password from there. But i dont know whether this iview will appear properly on the mobile device or we have to have a custom web dynpro application for this purpose...Please reply with a suitable answer.
    Thanks in advance.

  • How to change the root domain name in window 2012 server

    Got a window 2012 server build up. My root domain name looks something like corp.marketing   Well I seems to have missed to add the last .com or .local.  How do I add the .com to my existing root domain name please. The server is new, will
    go online in few days time. Thanks for all the help.

    I have a similar question and not sure if this is the right place. I had set a server with corp.brighterworld.com but the install wizard anywhere access had me believe that microsoft's strongly preferred domain name prefix was remote.brighterworld.com so
    I contacted GoDaddy and had it reissued as remote. but when I went to reconfigure for the new name. I had already set the server for being a CA, and in that process it issued like 4 or 5 certificates. So I had tried to rebuild the machine from scratch, but
    the it didn't wipe everything, but rather saved previous state which left the old certificate stuff to be dealt with. Any hints or help out here for us having to learn this stuff the hard way?
    Thanks,

  • How do I change the admin password in SJSWS 7.0?

    I've googled this, searched the forums, read the manual, but I haven't found anything that explained how to change the admin password for SJSWS 7.0. So, right now I'm stuck with "adminadmin" as the password, which I think is the default since I don't remember specifying that during install. Clearly I can't use this in production with the default admin password... sorry if this is a rtfm question, but I really didn't see anything in the manual about changing the admin password. Thanks!

    You could use the following CLI command:-
    wadm> set-admin-prop --set-password
    More information about the command:-
    http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-3283/set-admin-prop-1?a=view
    You could also use Administration console-
    - Login to the Administration Console and click on the Nodes tab
    - In the Nodes page, click on the Administration Server link within the Nodes table
    - Go to "Administration Server Preferences" section in the General page and change the password

  • Changing the default password when configuring.

    Hi,
    can anyone tell me how to change the default password and username when you are first configuring your router?  You know when you go to http://192.168.1.1/?
    I know the default password is admin and there is no user name but I would like to change that so that not just anyone who knows the default password can see the wep incryption I have in place.  Please can someone help?

    What router are you using?
    On most Linksys routers, you cannot change the User Name.  You must leave it blank.
    To change the Password, login to the router, and go to the "Administration" tab.  You should find the Password somewhere nearby.

    I too added 2nd apple ID when I tried to get Free app from apple store just to get to NONE on the credit card needed. It said it sent confirmation email to my new apple ID email that I have to confirm. Problem is I can not get to the new apple ID email account.  On my ipad it logs into my original email account and I see no where to log into another email account.  If I go to my laptop, the new apple ID I created does not let me log into email where apple said it was sent to.  It did not send to back up email account either.
    Can I log into 2 email accounts on my ipad where it says mail at bottom?
    Can I have 2 apple ids?
    If I created a 2nd apple id to get to NONE on credit card needed, can't I log into it also on another laptop in gmail?
    (won't let me)
    If I used my original apple id I created when I got my new ipad, it will not let me get free app without credit card, there is no where it says NONE needed. I am too new to apple to start with credit cards etc until I get use to it.

  • How the do i change the security passwords

    How do i change the security password answers. I cannot find it anywhere in appleid.com.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You might try to see if you can change your security questions. Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account > Password and Security.
    I'm able to do this, others say they need to input answers to their current security questions in order to make changes, I'm inclined to think its worth a try, you don't have anything to lose.
    If that doesn't help you might try contacting Apple through Express Lane (select your country, navigate to iCloud help and enter the serial number of one of your devices)
