UCM Root Access R11.1

[gknight1]

Looks like its UCM night. I have freshly loaded a UCM from a failed upgrade. On R11.1 right now, both voicemail and one-x are operational. The issue I am having is setting permissions for Administrator to be able to copy my old accounts, greetings, names, and recordings from mile PC to the server via WinSCP. I've done this before via local access, but I wasn't able to today. Am I missing something???

with a monitor and keyboard connnected directly to the UCM i wait until the UCM becomes fully operation
on the local keyboard and display i type login
i use Administrator and the Administrator password to login
It logs in successfully
from here shouldn't i be able to type admin and then enter the root login information, but this never happens
i think I can type root after the initial login with administrator, but no matter what i used as the first login, whether it be Administrator or root (both worked) it never let me perform the "admin" command

once I get the admin and login and should be able to run sudo usermod -a -G wheel Administrator

please adivse, any tips or things to try would be great.

With the latest releases becoming root is possible again.

Login with Administrator account.
Enter admin followed by username Administrator and Administrator‘s password.
Enter root and root‘s password.

IP Office remote service
IP Office certificate check
CLI based call blocking
SCN fallback over PSTN

So I enter admin Administrator Administratorpassword all on the same line or admin enter and then it will ask for username and password?

After initially logging in with Administrator... I've tried just entering admin and pressing enter and it says command not found

After I login with Administrator initially I'm at - bash-4.2$

When I enter admin here is says command not found.

It’s when you login through SSH.

If you login with monitor and keyboard you can directly login as root.

Each command in one line it will ask for username and password.

ok... so this is what i get

enter login
UCM login: root
I enter root password
that puts me at...
root@ucm~#
I enter admin
I get -bash: admin: command not found

I can run the sudo usermod -a -G wheel Administrator directly after I initially login with root, it doesnt give an error, it just drops down a line. It doesnt seem to actually take the change though as it still doesnt allow me to move the files, even after a reboot.

so interestingly enough, when I log into it using putty I am able to..

login initially as Administrator
enter admin
login again with adminitrator
enter root
run the sudo usermod command

but same thing, it just drops a line, no confirmation or bad command

I wonder why I can enter admin through putty, but not through direct connection? maybe it isnt needed since I'm logging in as root?

You could try this. It may be version specific but it is linux normal.

At the linux prompt login as root.
Enter: sudo vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config
Press ‘I’ to enter into insert mode and modify the entry.
Change PermitRootLogin no to PermitRootLogin yes
Press esc key to exit insert.
Type :wq to write and exit the editor.
At the command line type ‘service sshd restart’ to restart the service.
This will allow full access to the server file structure through WinSCP.
It is best practice to change this back to ‘no’ when the process is complete.
Do this procedure to both servers.
