Unable to SSH into jenkins@jenkins for task 68

Good day,

I wonder if anyone else is having any issues connecting by SSH to complete the task 68 on the KKE platform?

The jumphost just wouldn’t accept my password (j@rv!s). I have restarted the lab a couple times without success.

Please advise.

Thank you.

If the task Title is Set Up Jenkins Server. Then you need to SSH as root and the password is provided in the task:

Hi Santosh,

Thanks a lot. I was actually going step by step and didn’t make it up to the notes yet but I do see the instruction for root now.

Thanks again, I’ll retry once I get a minute.

Thanks again @Santosh_KodeKloud

Maybe they should move that to the top of the question (but you were right! I just didn’t finish reading the entire question before attempting to SSH…lol)
