Guidbedit require password?

[RemoteUser]

Hi Mates,

I'm tring to acces to Guidbedit but required a password it's right?

S1C R82

[Vincent_Bacher]

I am a S1C n00b but it's as designed as you are logging into the management database when using guidbedit. Or did i get you wrong?

[Lesley]

Hi,

This is correct, guidbedit needs a password. same one you use for SmartConsole 

[RemoteUser]

It's strange because I have several CMAs and only this one requires a password

[Lesley]

Hi,

Yes this is the correct window. If you do not need a password how do you start the application and what does it look like? Is it already filled in?

[Vincent_Bacher]

I am confused by the management server address. 127.0.0.1 aka localhost? What did I miss?

Cao ragazzo,

This is how you do it. Open streamed smart console, then follow screenshots I attached, works 100%.

  

[Vincent_Bacher]

Oh my goodness, for years I've been creating a shortcut from the exe file in the programme directory to the desktop, and now I see that you can call up the stupid thing from the smartconsole, but thanks for pointing that out.

[the_rock]

Its not always obvious, honestly.

[Vincent_Bacher]

Just had a look because i need to start it but no menu item for the guidbedit here.

[the_rock]

Wait...you dont see it from the menu from STREAMED smart console?

[Vincent_Bacher]

Oh. Streamed. Sorry. Was in an upgrade of two 16k clusters to R82 and missed the word streamed or forgot this point when searching at my locally installed SC.

[the_rock]

Thats right Vince, you should be sorry! 😉

Just kidding lol

Anywho, does it show up in streamed smart console? I dont ever recall having issue from there with guidbedit, even back in R80.30 days.

[Vincent_Bacher]

already called it a day

[the_rock]

Fair enough! Hey, on totally unrelated note, I saw bit of a hockey game between womens' teams Germany and Canada yesterday, not sure how this guy came to my mind, but I saw someone in the stands that looked EXACTLY like good old football player Karl Heinz Rummenige...loved watching him as a kid.

[Vincent_Bacher]

 Never liked watching hm play because he played for the wrong club. OK playing for the national team was okay.

[the_rock]

I know very well the passion about those things ANYWHERE in Europe...I spent 20 years of my life experiencing that lol

[RemoteUser]

Exactly,  but for me require a psw also for you?

[the_rock]

No ragazzo, no password. Happy to do remote Friday morning and show you.

[RemoteUser]

Hi brother, that's what i mean - no worries i've opend an SR with TAC - i'll update you

[Lesley]

If you start guidbedit from Smart Console -> no pw

If you start from the .exe itself in the program dit -> pw required

This is your issue right? It think it is expected because you are already authenticated in SmartConsole, does not make sense to ask for authentication again. 

[RemoteUser]

I tried from smart console and required a pw 

[the_rock]

Will email you later, lets do remote.

[the_rock]

Hey ragazzo,

As a test, I checked all 8 customers I have access to for S1C, NONE of them needed password to open guidbedit. I checked all of them from stream smart console and no issues at all, worked exact same way like screenshots I sent initially.

Do they all use the 'admin' user or do you have custom logins? Might also be related to permissions profiles. 

[RemoteUser]

I checked the CMA where it works, and I see that it is set to Primary Administration.
On the CMA where it does not work, it is also set to Primary Administration.

[emmap]

No I mean the username that you're logging in with to try this. Sometimes things work a little differentl for the default 'admin' user than for other users, and all SmartConsole users have a permissions profile attached to it to controll what access they have.
