Please login as the user "cloud-user" rather than the user "root".

[Shanmugadhasan Saravanabavanantharajah]

Hi,

After I launched the new instance, I click the connect and I got the following popup

To connect to your instance, be sure security group "TSecGroup" has TCP port 22 open to inbound traffic and then perform the following steps (these instructions do not apply if you did not select a key pair when you launched this instance):

1. Open an SSH terminal window.
2. Change your directory to the one where you stored your key file "TKeyPair.pem"
3. Run the following command to set the correct permissions for your key file:
   chmod 400 TKeyPair.pem
4. Connect to your instance via its public IP address by running the following command: ssh -i TKeyPair.pem ro...@10.10.30.120

I did as per the popup message.

Then I got the following response on the terminal.

[scloud@cloud52 credentials]$ ssh -i TKeyPair.pem ro...@10.10.30.120
Please login as the user "cloud-user" rather than the user "root".

Connection to 10.10.30.120 closed.

Is it a bug???

Hi,

   Its not a bug you just have to login with cloud-user as instructed here

              ssh -i KeyPair.pem cloud-user@10.10.30.120

   and you will be in your instance.  

   If you want to be the super user of instance after login, one of these two commands will work

1.   su -   

2.   sudo su -

  Hope this helps,

  Thanks !

Mayur.

Hi,

I tried the way you requested, it is asking the password for cloud-user.
where I can find my cloud-user password for this particular instance.

[scloud@cloud52 credentials]$ ssh -i TKeyPair.pem cloud...@10.10.30.120
Last login: Mon May  5 12:15:11 2014 from 10.10.30.120
[cloud-user@ip-172-31-254-143 ~]$ sudo su-
[sudo] password for cloud-user:
Sorry, try again.
[sudo] password for cloud-user:
Sorry, try again.
[sudo] password for cloud-user:
Sorry, try again.
sudo: 3 incorrect password attempts
[cloud-user@ip-172-31-254-143 ~]$ su -
Password:
su: incorrect password

First you must login with ssh -i TKeyPair.pem cloud...@10.10.30.120. Once you logged in, then you type "sudo -i" to get into the root.

Hi Shanmugadhasan and harinath,

i have the same problem. I am successful to connect to the instance but unfortunately can increase my privileges to root. 

Googled a lot for default password but not successful. Hari can you be helpful here if you know any default password?

[Wang He]

Hi, 

I have the same problem also. Did you solve it already? Where can I find the password of the instance? Thanks in advance!

[SHINDE TUSHAR ASHOK 14MCS1048]

Sir,

I tried to work with "sudo root" command but still it ask's for password. I'm attaching the screenshot, please view and reply me soon.

and that too it is asking me to login with "cloud-user" name not "root"

thanks in advance

[Carroll, Jim]

Please describe the following:


1. What version of Eucalyptus are you using?
2. What image (e.g., CentOS, RHEL, Ubuntu, etc) and version are you using, and where did you get it from?

Cheers,

jc

Not sure if this is relevant, but if cloud-init is installed on the images you can try enabling 'root' login by passing 'user data' at instance run time. 

For example in the run-instances request you could pass the following:

#cloud-config

disable_root: false

...or...

disable_root: 0

See "euca-run-instances -h" help to show the several options for passing userdata. 

Cheers, 

-Matt
