On the previous post, i have teach you on how to create the additional user on VMware ESXi 4.1 host. That new user will successfully connect to ESXi host using vSphere client but will failed when you try to connect using ssh access. This error message will be prompted:
Access Denied
Example:
Login as: demoroot demoroot@ESXi4.1host's password: Access denied
To resolve this issue, follow below steps:
1. Connect the ESXi 4.1 host via Tech Support mode (local or remote SSH) as the root user.
2. Issue the following commands:
usermod -s /bin/ash <username>
mkdir -p /home/<username>
chown <username> /home/<username>
Example:
~ # usermod -s /bin/ash demoroot ~ # mkdir -p /home/demoroot ~ # chown demoroot /home/demoroot
