SSH to clearpass server

  • 1.  SSH to clearpass server

    Posted Jul 24, 2013 11:47 AM

    Hi all,

     

    I am able to ssh to my clearpass server.  It prompts me for username which I can type that in.  Once I type it in it just sits there and my putty ssh session types out and never prompts for the password.  Anyone seen this before?  I just updated it 6.1.2.53442 and it still happens.

     

    Thanks,

     

    Bill

    As this is an appliance, do you have an IP on the data and management ports?  Which port are you trying to access?

    We have IPs in the Management and the Data Port.  I'm trying to ssh into the management IP.

    Have you got a valid DNS server configured?  Do reverse DNS lookups for your client's IP address work?

    I tried ssh to both via IP and DNS name and same result.

    I would advise you open up a TAC case and have a server backup ready to be sent in.  You can backup the logs in Adminstration --> Server Configuration.  

     

    Before that, can you navigate to Server Configuration and then click on your server and then click on the tab "Services Control"?  Make sure all processes are running
