To connect to your BlueCat AWS Virtual Appliances , you must log in as the bluecat user via SSH with the generated key pair file.
Attention: In accordance with AWS best practices, root login has been
removed from
BlueCat AWS Virtual Appliances v9.0.0 and greater. If you defined
custom SSH keys for root in BlueCat DNS for AWS v8.3.2 / v8.3.1, the keys will be copied over to the
bluecat user upon upgrade to version 9.0.0 or greater.
To connect your instances via
SSH:
ssh -i <key_pair_file_name> bluecat@<eth0_ip>
After successfully connecting to your instances, you can now access the BlueCat AWS Virtual Appliances command-line interface using sudo su - admin. You can also access the root account using sudo bash.
