Initial password for admin is invalid at deploying on AWS from marketplace

Troubleshooting


Problem

I successfully deployed ISVA 10.0.4 on AWS from marketplace. Then, I can access log in page of LMI. However, I cannot log in with either admin/<instance-id> or admin/admin.

Cause

You might use instance with metadata version V2 only.

Diagnosing The Problem

Check the metadata version of instance.

Resolving The Problem

Installing ISVA on AWS from marketplace requires metadata version V1 enabled.
So, you need to set instance metadata version to V1 and V2 at installation. Then, you can change metadata version to V2.
  1. Create instance with "metadata version: V1 and V2"
  2. Deploy AMI from marketplace
  3. Log in to LMI with admin/<instance-id>
  4. Change password for admin
  5. Set metadata version to V2
To set metadata version to V2
aws ec2 modify-instance-metadata-options --instance-id i-xxxxxx --http-tokens required --http-endpoint enabled
