Look Up Account Credentials

To look up the account credentials for the built-in accounts that are managed and rotated by SDDC Manager, you can log in to the SDDC Manager appliance using any SDDC Manager account credentials.

Prerequisites

Only a user with the ADMIN role can perform this task.

Procedure

1. SSH in to the SDDC Manager appliance using the vcf user account.
2. (Optional) Change to the /usr/bin directory.
   Note: Although the password management CLI commands are located in /usr/bin, you can run them from any directory.
3. Obtain the account credentials list by typing the command:
   lookup_passwords

   You must enter the user name and password for a user with the ADMIN role.

   Note: Accounts with type USER and SYSTEM will be displayed.
4. (Optional) Save the command output to a secure location with encryption so that you can access it later and use it to log in to the accounts as needed.
