Cannot access Kaa Sandbox SSH

Question

I wanted to ssh into Kaa's sandbox using ssh [email protected] -p 2222 given in the virtual machine to us and also in one of the Data Collection demo where it said that we need to ssh into kaa's sandbox then we can see our mongoDB using our application token of our demo to see data saved into it.

But we do know the password is kaa123. But I tried 4 times, it shows permission denied, please try again until it shows permission denied (publickey,password).

ThusIi would like to seek help. I haven set up anything apart from downloading cmake, gcc. I changed the port on Raspberry pi to port 2222. Raspberry pi is connected to my computer using an Ethernet cable.

• Raspberry pi static ip address : 169.254.220.68

• Computer static ip address : 169.254.220.135

• Kaa's sandbox ssh address is : ssh [email protected] -p 222

Your answers are really very very important to us as we have been stuck for days for our mini Final Year Project.

Answer 1

127.0.0.1 always points to your own computer. If kaa's sanbox is in your Raspberry Pi, try ssh [email protected] -p 2222

Answer 2

As I understood, the situation is next:

1. Kaa Sandbox is running in VirtualBox image on host 169.254.220.135
2. Raspberry Pi has IP address 169.254.220.68
3. You tries to get to Kaa Sandbox by ssh from Raspberry Pi
4. Kaa Sandbox shows in terminal that you can access its SSH via localhost (127.0.0.1) port 2222

If that is correct, the technical details are as follows:

1. You should be able (if you didn't change Kaa Sandbox configuration) to access the Kaa Sandbox from your VirtualBox host just as it is shown in the Kaa Sandbox terminal:

   ssh kaa@localhost -p 2222
   

Please try this first. Should this fail you will not be able to pass the further checks below.

2. The Kaa Sandbox is shiped with NAT networking mode configuration. This means (among other things) that its internal IP addresse(s) (including 10.0.2.15) cannot be reached from outside. That is, you cannot connect to this address from Raspberry Pi and even from your VirtualBox host. NAT hides them under the VirtualBox host IP address.

3. To enable access to the Kaa Sandbox from outside we pre-configured the Kaa Sandbox VirtualBox image to forward several ports from your host IP address to the internal IP address (10.0.2.15) which is under NAT. The port forwarding configuration is next:

   ${HostIP}:2222 -> 10.0.2.15:22
   

This means that all the connections to ${HostIP}:2222 will be forwarded to the Kaa Sandbox's 10.0.2.15:22.

Thus:

1. You should be able to get Kaa Sandbox SSH locally by kaa@localhost -p 2222 and by host IP: [email protected] -p 2222

2. You need to use your host IP from remote: [email protected] -p 2222

Please let me know if something is unclear here or does not work for you.
