# vagrant ssh

  Welcome to Ansible Tower!

  Log into the web interface here:

    https://10.42.0.42/

    Username: admin
    Password: ************

  The documentation for Ansible Tower is available here:

    http://www.ansible.com/tower/

  For help, visit  http://support.ansible.com/
[vagrant@ansible-tower ~]$ cat /etc/redhat-release 
CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511 (Core) 
[vagrant@ansible-tower ~]$ rpm -q ansible-tower
ansible-tower-3.0.3-1.el7.centos.x86_64

I am able to bring the vagrant up but when i do vagrant ssh it does not show the display message with the admin password and the tower login. Can you please help ?

same no password or url

+1 no url / no password provided after vagrant ssh

Solution:

Well with little reverse engineering here are the steps to retrieve your password if you don't see the MOTD Message

Execute the following commands:

vagrant ssh

echo "from django.contrib.auth.models import User; passwd=User.objects.make_random_password(length=12); usr=User.objects.get(username='admin'); usr.set_password(passwd); usr.save(); open('{{admin_password_file}}', 'w').write(passwd); import os; os.chmod('{{admin_password_file}}', 0640);" | awx-manage shell

cat /etc/tower/{{admin_password_file}}

4. get the ip address of where http server is running
   ss -a |grep https|awk -F " " '{print $5}'

You should see something like

*:https
10.42.0.42:https

And then only have to type https://10.42.0.42 on your browser and type Username: admin and password the result of command 3) and voila enjoy Ansible Tower!!!

SOLUTION::

thank you @vtzan. Finally someone looked into this issue and provided the some solution.
but step 3 and 4 did not work. step 3 said "No such file or directory". and step4 only displayed *:https

This is what I did to get the admin password and the URL:
/etc/tower/51-tower-welcome.j2 has the default IP address and the default password for admin.

your login url will be https://
user name and password are also present in the same file.

I was able to open the URL but the default password for admin did not work so i manually changed the password with the below command awx-manage changepassword admin

Voilaa!! I am finally able to login to tower now. I hope Ansible updates the document or vagrant starts displaying the MOTD with the password and the URL

Neither above worked for me (there was no 51-tower-welcome.j2 file in /etc/tower). I had to reset admin password using tower-manage command, and was able to use the default ip (https://10.42.0.42) to login.

To reset admin password:
sudo tower-manage changepassword admin

@rsheyd good solution.
but after the login, it jumps to a page to ask me for a licence :(

I tried to run Vagarnat Up Command after installing Virtual Box and Ansible Tower Image. I'm getting following error, Even I checked BIOS to see whether I need to enable any virtualization options. I've two options which are alredy enabled they are : Intel(R) Vitualization Technology and Interl (R) VT-d Feature, But I don't see any VT-x. Is it old one one?

Stderr: VBoxManage: error: VT-x is not available (VERR_VMX_NO_VMX)
VBoxManage: error: Details: code NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005), component ConsoleWrap, interface IConsole
