Manage Your Omnissa Access Appliance Passwords

When you configured the Omnissa Access virtual appliance initially, you created passwords for the admin user, root user, and sshuser. You can change these passwords from the appliance configuration settings in the Omnissa Access administration console.

You can also change the admin user password, as well as the Omnissa Access admin console password (or operator password), from the command line. See Resetting Omnissa Access Console-Related Passwords with the Command Line.

Make sure that you create strong passwords.

Admin passwords must be 8 or more characters long and contain at least one of each of the following.

• Uppercase characters A-Z (Latin alphabet)
• Lowercase characters a-z (Latin alphabet)
• Numeric digits 0-9
• Special characters (!, $, #, %, etc.)

SSH users, including the root user, password must be 14 or more characters long and contain at least one of each of the following.

• Uppercase characters A-Z (Latin alphabet)
