[gpfsug-discuss] Password to GUI forgotten

Thu Dec 7 12:10:52 GMT 2017

Sorry I need to learn to read... didn't see the "object 'Administrator' does not exist" error.

That said, my workaround for the problem of forgetting the password was to create a new "admin2" user and use that to reset the password on admin itself.

[root at gpfs cli]# ./mkuser admin2 -p Passw0rd -g Administrator,SecurityAdmin
EFSSG0019I The user admin2 has been successfully created.
EFSSG1000I The command completed successfully.

Cheers
Richard

This happened to me a while back, I opened a pmr to get it sorted but it's just a case of running some cli commands. I'll dig it out.

All,

/root
root at testnsd1# /usr/lpp/mmfs/gui/cli/chuser admin -p abc1231 -g Administrator,SecurityAdmin
EFSSP0010C CLI parser: The object "Administrator" specified for "-g" does not exist.
/root
root at testnsd1# /usr/lpp/mmfs/gui/cli/chuser admin -p abc1231 -g SecurityAdmin
EFSSP0010C CLI parser: The object "SecurityAdmin" specified for "-g" does not exist.
/root
root at testnsd1#

I'll also add that all of the work I did earlier in the fall was with the test cluster running an earlier version of GPFS and it's subsequently been updated to GPFS 4.2.3.5 ... not sure that's relevant but wanted to mention it just in case.

Thanks!

Kevin

Hmm.. odd.

Here's what the lsuser output should look like.

# /usr/lpp/mmfs/gui/cli/lsuser
Name  Long name Password status Group names                 Failed login attempts
admin           active          Administrator,SecurityAdmin 0
EFSSG1000I The command completed successfully.

Can you try something like...

# /usr/lpp/mmfs/gui/cli/mkuser admin -p abc1231 -g Administrator,SecurityAdmin

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...
