How to unlock Root Account in non-global zone on Solaris 10 Branded Zone

Hello All,
I have a phsical x86 server running Solaris 11. On top of that, I have 3 Solaris 10 branded zones configured. Due to security policy the root account has been locked by 5 failed login attempts.
Is there a way by which I can unlock root account in non-global zone.
I have the root access of global zone.
Pls help as these are production servers.
Regards

Hey,
It worked. Actually i forgot to save the file.
I changed the /<zonepath>/root/etc/shadow
Removed *LK* & then from global zone did zlogin -l root zonename
Thanks  lot.

  • How to enable GUI in a non global zone in solaris11?

    How to enable graphical logon in a non global zone in solaris11, so the zone can be login by Xmanager? Thanks!

    This guide will cover how to setup a basic VNC connection to a Solaris 11 machine. There is also an optional step to allow for persistent VNC connections.
    Step 1
    Configure GDM to include ‘[security] DisallowTCP=false’ and ‘[xdmcp] Enable=true’.
    $ sudo gedit /etc/gdm/custom.conf
    # GDM configuration storage
    [daemon]
    [security]
    DisallowTCP=false
    [xdmcp]
    Enable=true
    [greeter]
    [chooser]
    [debug]
    Step 2
    Configure X-Server to accept remote connections.
    # svccfg -s application/x11/x11-server
    svc:/application/x11/x11-server> setprop options/tcp_listen = boolean: true
    svc:/application/x11/x11-server> end
    Step 3
    Configure the VNC service (you could change the ‘-geometry 1280×720′ to whatever resolution you would like).
    # svccfg -s xvnc-inetd
    svc:/application/x11/xvnc-inetd> setprop inetd_start/exec = astring: "/usr/bin/Xvnc -desktop sol11:0 -geometry 1024x768 -inetd -query localhost -once securitytypes=none"
    svc:/application/x11/xvnc-inetd> setprop inetd/wait = boolean: true
    svc:/application/x11/xvnc-inetd> end
    ** The line highlighted red is optional – only do this if you want your VNC connection to persist (as well as any potential security issues)
    or
    # svccfg -s xvnc-inetd
    svc:/application/x11/xvnc-inetd> editprop
    search for # setprop inetd_start/exec = astring: "/usr/bin/Xvnc
    copy the line, uncomment the copy, makethe changes above, write the file out.
    svcadm refresh xvnc-inetd
    Step 4
    Disable and the re-enable the GDM and VNC-inetd services for the changes to take effect.
    $ su root
    Password:
    # svcadm disable gdm xvnc-inetd; svcadm enable gdm xvnc-inetd
    If still in maintenance, reboot (I had to, don't know why).
    Step 5
    Point your favourite VNC client at your Solaris server and test if it accepts your VNC connection – you should be presented with a Username/Password login screen.
    If you performed the optional step to make your connections persist – close your favourite VNC client and then reconnect – if you remained logged in you have a persistent connections.

    After a fresh text install of Solaris-11 (11/11) both xvnc-inetd and gdm are not present. After installing them (# pkg install xvnc-inetd gdm) I can’t get gdm to start:
    # svcadm enable gdm
    # svcs gdm
    offline 10:24:03 svc:/application/graphical-login/gdm:default
    Any thoughts?

    You are missing some X packages. Do the following:
    pkg install slim_install           # installs 400+ packages
    svcadm enable gdm && exit      # gdm now works
    pkg uninstall slim_install           # uninstalls the installer package only

  • How to enable root account?

    Now that Directory Utility seems to have disappeared, does anybody know how to enable the root account/change root admin password?

    Yeah, I suppose using terminal is also an option. But I'm really much more of a GUI guy, it's what I grew up using, and what I'm most comfortable with, so if I can find ways of doing things without having to use terminal, that's usually the way I go. And besides, why have a mac with such a beautiful GUI if you're not going to use it? Haha.
    I need to enable the root account as the only way my school has found to successfully install machine certificates to get our 802.x WEP wireless to work involves changing settings using the root account. Again, I'm sure there's probably a way of getting it to work using CLI and sudo, but just makes more sense for me this way.

  • How to unlock user account in Windows Server 2003

    Hi,
    I want to unlock a user account in Windows Server 2003.
    I have read a great post at http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=716240&start=0&tstart=0
    But I can not get it to work. According to the post the only thing you need to do is:
    "+to unlock an account, just set the value of the attribute lockoutTime to zero+".
    When I set lockoutTime to zero nothing happens. The user can still not logon.
    When I read the lockoutTime attribute for an account that is locked it is empty or zero if I have tried to unlock it earlier.
    So it doesn´t seem to change when the account is locked.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Windows Server 2012 has come with the concept of Group Managed Service Account (gMSA).  
    Following are the benefits of gMSA,
    - A single gMSA can be used on multiple hosts.
    - A gMSA can be used for scheduled tasks.
    - A gMSA can be used for IIS Application Pools, SQL 2012 etc.
    Checkout the below link regarding complete information on gMSA (creation and usage),

  • How to delete iCloud account, with non-existing email as ID, on iPad?

    Cannot delete iCloud account (which happens to have a non-existing ID) on iPad in order to have same account as on iPhone - keep trying using current Apple ID and PW but to no avail - iCloud settings continue to insist that Apple ID/PW is wrong but they are the ones I have in "manage my ID"???

    If the ID is your the iPad is signed into is your old ID, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPad on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • How to transfer mail accounts from old Mac running Tiger to brand new Mac?

    I just ordered a new mac. Should be here on Monday (can't wait). I want to set it up with my existing mail (all my inboxes, and old messages, etc.). What would you suggest I do?
    I was thinking I could move over my mail folder (wherever that may be) to the new account on my new mac. Will that work? Do I need to create the account first, then copy it over? Of copy it and then bring up Mail for the first time? I have several email accounts (gmail, .mac, etc.). Is all that in one place on the old mac?
    I would appreciate some help. I want to be ready when it gets here.
    Thanks!

    I've read that you can copy the ~/Library/Mail and ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist and then start up Mail. The only worry I have is that Mail on Snow Leopard will not understand the "Tiger" version of Mail files. Can anyone confirm if this will or will not work?
    Thanks.
