Certain features of Tideway Foundation need command line access to configure. For example, the appliance obtains its IP address using DHCP by default, though you may configure it at the command line to use a static IP address.

Default Command Line Passwords

The Community Edition of Tideway Foundation is configured the following default command line passwords.

  • root – tidewayroot
  • tideway – tidewayuser

You should log in and change these passwords immediately.

To log in, enter the username (root) at the prompt in the VMware Server Console. You are prompted for the password. When you have entered this, the first thing you should do is change the root and user passwords.

To Change the root and tideway Passwords

  1. Log in as the root user and use the passwd command to change the password.
  2. Enter a new password when prompted. An example session is shown below: 
    # passwd
Changing password for user root.
New UNIX password: 
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
#

    When you enter the new password it is not echoed to the screen.

  3. Change the tideway user's password. Still logged in as the root user, change the password using the passwd command specifying the tideway user.
  4. Enter a new password when prompted. An example session is shown below: 
    # passwd tideway
Changing password for user tideway.
New UNIX password: 
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
#

    The passwords are now changed.
