Airwave console login banner - is it MOTD?

  • 1.  Airwave console login banner - is it MOTD?

    Posted Mar 22, 2023 09:05 AM

    Noticed that after upgrading our instance from 8.2.14.1 to 8.2.15.1, that the login banner (or is it MOTD) in the console, shows an older version information - AMP Version: 8.2.12.1. The message is displayed 3 times on top of it, in addition to the CentOS and Kernel information.

    Is this a bug from a prior upgrade issue? We had them going into 8.2.14.1 (apparently not enough disk space) and recently to 8.2.15.1 (no idea what happened - upgrade didn't go through and TAC got involved). 

    Can't seem to find an option to set an MOTD, or would TAC need to be involved?

    TIA.

    Hi,

    From AMP CLI menu, you should be able to set the Login banner for CLI. For UI, under AMP Setup > Authentication, you can set the login banner.

    If the messages are doubled/error, I suggest opening a TAC case to see if there's some data corruption (due to last disk full issue) which TAC can clear it up.

    Thanks - Can't find the option via CLI, but the "Login message" in GUI is blank. Will reach out to TAC.

    Looks like the "login message" field in the GUI only shows in the web interface login screen, and did not modify to the console banner.

    For the CLI banner, we may have to update the ssh banner file and may need the shell access. Request to open a TAC case.

    So the problem was the /etc/issue file. I guess at one point it got edited with the AMP version 3 times. And looks like updates are not editing the file.

    But it took me an hour with TAC to convince them to generate the awsupport password so it could be edited. They wanted to modify the vm settings, shut it down, and who knows what else, even though from the beginning of the call I told them what the problem was and how to fix it. Unreal.
