I'm not sure exactly, but shouldn't the password on port 5480 (for vmware appliace management) be the same as the one I'm using on the vsphere webclient? It simply won't work. I keep getting "Unable to authenticate. Try again."
Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I also simply tried "root" and "vmware" as password, thinking that it might require different credentials (which might not have been changed) than the vsphere webclient.
If I connect to the server through ssh, it works with the same credentials I'm using on the webclient, but the shell is disabled (not sure why or how I can enable it - maybe by accessing the shell I might be able to change the appliance management credentials).
Any ideas? Thanks!
