Dear all,
for some unknown reason (!?), It could be due to my own mistake
as well, I have been unable to log in as root to host
VDI (solaris 10 that run VDA 3.2 hosted in Server Sun Ilom) for
the past few days. I receive the following message:
"Roles can only be assumed by authorized users"
Since I connect remotely using Java 6 environment Java(NT) web
start launcer GUI, specifically Booting in failsafe, mounted at
/a, I deleted the "passwd" file in /a/etc/user_attr and
/a/etc/shadow. I check hosts, nsswitch.conf. When I tried to
change the password as "su," I received the message "Permission
Denied."
Do you have any suggestions?
I kindly request your assistance in resolving this issue. Please
let me know if there are any troubleshooting steps or solutions
that I should try.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Best regards,
Dim
