Unable to ssh using password authentication to kubernetes nodes as the capv user

Products

• VMware Telco Cloud Automation

Issue/Introduction

• We are unable to access a couple of clusters using the capv account.

Environment

3.x

Cause

Authentication with the TCA-CP did not complete, and requires a one-time connection using the private key.

Resolution

1. SSH into the Telco Cloud Automation control plane appliance as admin

ssh admin@<node-ip>
   
   
2. SSH to a node using a private key
   
   ssh -i /root/.ssh/id_rsa capv@<node-ip
   
   
3. Attempt login with normal capv password.
