Unable to set Admin users password to access webadmin Portal of RHEV Manager

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • I get the following error while trying to set the password according to the man-page:

# engine-config -a | grep -i Password LocalAdminPassword: Failed to decrypt the current value. SysPrepDefaultPassword: Empty version: general AdminPassword: Failed to decrypt the current value. # engine-config -s PasswordEntry=interactive Error setting PasswordEntry's value. No such entry.
  • I then try another syntax to create a file with the password in plaintext in it:

# engine-config -s PasswordEntry --admin-pass-file=/tmp/mypass Error setting PasswordEntry's value. No such entry.

Environment
