I have set-up a VM from the Gallery which is the Nagios Xi image.
I follow through the normal creation steps right up to the point where it asks me about the authentication method i want to choose for accessing the VM ( it's a Linux version ) using SSH.
This is where I'm having a massive headache.
I initially chose.. no SSH cert and specified a user name and password. then set the access ports for SSH, HTTP and SMTP
Image gets created and a short while later i try accessing with my username and password to the DNS name of my VM.
So i putty to the address.. am asked for username and password... username accepted, password rejected.
Because we can't get into the image, i blow it away, create another one and then choose the default " azureuser" and specify a password.
Putty back to the DNS, name, enter azure user and my password.... rejected.
So i try root, azureuser still rejected
Hmm strange... now im thinking some things wrong with the provisioning script for this image... so i go through the process again but this time i user a certificate i made using puttygen... now im having issue with it recognising the certs...
so now im trying openSSL cert on my windows machine made with OPENSSL_Win32.. i gen the cert fine.. and i know it's fine as i can convert pem and key in and out of a PFX12 style cert with no issues.... but the image.. nope.. doesn't want to use them at all.
So.. my question is, why the hell is is so difficult to install from this image? has anyone else had issue with this process? Has anyone gotten the Nagios image to work? or any other linux image that might of had the same issue?
