I am using PowerShell to deploy the UAG appliance to a HyperV host. I am using the scripts provided by VMware.
- Appliance version 23.12
- Latest available scripts downloaded in the last couple weeks.
When I run uagdeployhv.ps1 I am taken through the various prompts, including setting a root password. I am pasting the password into the script and I've confirmed that it pastes correctly into the PS terminal window. I have also tried typing it, but pasting eliminates transcription errors, and so once I confirmed the text is pasting correctly I have used this method primarily.
After deployment completes I open the appliance via the HV console view, and the root password I set is not accepted.
In order to login root, I must reset the password using the GRUB root password reset methods described here.
After I change the password this way, I am able to login successfully.
I have tried passwords of different lengths and with different sets of characters, but this does not appear to have any impact.
I am guessing the PS script is storing the password encrypted, but failing to DECRYPT the password when it applies it to the VM.
