How do I access rXg as root through CLI?
January 09, 2024
Via SSH:
Connect to your rXg via SSH using your public key.
You will be presented with this screen:
Enter the command `issue` or to show the IUI of the system.
The first block of letters in the IUI will be the root password of your rXg. Copy that block and then enter the command 'su -' to elevate to root and be prompted for the password.
Paste the block from the IUI and press Enter. You will now be in the elevated role, shown by the command line now displaying [name-of-system]# instead of [username@system ~]$
Via Console:
Open the console to your rXg VM or physical server. You will be presented with this screen:
Enter `root` as the login. You will then be prompted for the password.
Enter the first block of the IUI listed above as the password. Press Enter and you will now be logged in a root. If the IUI scrolls off the screen at any time, you can press `CTRL-D` to bring it back.
