AWS Marketplace DDM VE 3.1 sysadmin password

[kiwicmc1]

Hi,

I've launched the latest DDM VE from the AWS Marketplace (twice now), however the sysadmin password is not "changeme" nor is it sysadmin nor the AWS account ID (not sure where I saw that)

Any ideas?

its "sysadmin" and "changeme" - you could try to delete and restart it

Many retries later, this is how I got into the system and set the sysadmin password to something that worked. I initially used the AWS host key specified when created the EC2 instance.

chris@vader.local:/Users/chris> ssh sysadmin@x.x.x.x

Further to the above - this was the way I continued the install

I then went straight to the browser

Added a security exception to the browser

Loaded the license key, remember to unzip it first!

Next I added the 500GiB device to the file system, it failed the data system assessment but this is only a trial for me so I carried on. It may be that I chose the cheaper of the AWS volume types for the 500GiB disk.

Then configuration was straight forward.
