Hello everyone! I am not sure if this question is appropiate in the ISPConfig. Maybe my problem is not specific to ISPConfig. I have installed ISPConfig version 2.2.7 on an Ubuntu server. If i add users though the ISPConfig interface they are able to login into SSH. However i want to add some specific users in Linux directly. I have done this: # add a tomcat user > adduser -m tomcat # unlock the tomcat account > passwd -u tomcat # query status > passwd -S tomcat tomcat NP 03/21/2007 0 99999 7 -1 # notice the NP = no password > passwd tomcat Enter new password: Re-type new password: passwd: password updated successfully # however the status stays the same > passwd -S tomcat tomcat NP 03/21/2007 0 99999 7 -1 # add ssh login is not possible > ssh tomcat@localhost tomcat@localhost's password: Permission denied, please try again. tomcat@localhost's password: How can i assign a passwd to the tomcat user and login through ssh? Best regards, FastS
The command is Code: passwd tomcat But you must make sure that tomcat has a valid shell like /bin/bash in /etc/passwd. Also make sure you use a uid that doesn't conflict with the uids ISPConfig uses for its users. If possible, use a uid below 10000.
