Hi folks,
I tried to login to the XG VM console running V21 EAP via CM and th password kept failing.
I logged in directly and the password is accepted by the GUI and the console.
Why does console access fail via CM?

Is this related to V21.0?
You mean the console hosted by CM?
This console has a major delay and also may have a different layout than you expect, making it hard to enter the password.
Was doublechecking it:

No, I could not get that far in accessing the XG console, the password failed at the please enter your password prompt.

Yes - my screenshot is after i entered the password.
As said, try it really slowly and check for potential layout issues on the keyboard.

I will try very slow, but the keyboard is not the issue because I can login with direct access.

I have found the CLI via CM console has bad keystroke timing. You type abcdefg
and it may write afegbc. Not all the times but sometimes.
I had to type
a
wait 3 seconds
b
wait 3 seconds
c
...
to be sure, it does what expected.
Thank you for your experience. The issue still exists, because slow typing is a workaround for a bug. because you cannot see what you are typing and should not change the order of the characters arriving.

I typed slowly, not slow enough.
I typed very slowly and the password was accepted which then leads to the next issue, I did not try and that is entering text for the various commands.

I totally agree. copy and paste would be very fine here. especially for the password. No fun to type a secure password with all possible characters.
