Look Up Account Credentials

To look up the account credentials for the built-in accounts that are managed and rotated by
SDDC Manager
, you can log in to the
SDDC Manager appliance
 using any SDDC Manager account credentials.
Only a user with the
ADMIN
 role can perform this task.
  1. SSH in to the
    SDDC Manager appliance
     using the
    vcf
     user account.
  2. Change to the
    /usr/bin
     directory.
    Although the password management CLI commands are located in
    /usr/bin
    , you can run them from any directory.
  3. Obtain the account credentials list by typing the command:
    lookup_passwords
    You must enter the user name and password for a user with the ADMIN role.
    Accounts with type
    USER
     and
    SYSTEM
     will be displayed.
  4. Save the command output to a secure location with encryption so that you can access it later and use it to log in to the accounts as needed.
