Setting the Management Password

Information about the initial Initial management password configuration:
Before connecting to the Charon-SSP host instance in the cloud with the Charon Manager for the first time after the initial installation of your instance you must set the management password.  This can either be done via the Charon Manager itself (see Connecting with the Charon-SSP Manager) or via the command line as shown below.

Please note: The steps described here can also be used to reset a forgotten Charon management password.

Steps to set the management password:

• Log in to the Charon host using SSH as show above.
• Become the root user (sudo -i).
• Change to the Charon Agent utilities directory (cd /opt/charon-agent/ssp-agent/utils).
• Run the charon-password script (./charon-passwd).
• Enter and confirm the new management password when prompted.

After this has been completed, you can connect to the host using the Charon Manager with the new management password.

Below, you see sample output of the steps (exact output may vary depending on product and host system version):
