<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:black">Chris,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:black"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:black">I understand and respect your position on this. I agree that allowing root access to any machine is akin to giving someone a loaded gun to kill their system. Obtaining root access not blessed
by TAC would invalidate any support agreements for a host.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:black"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:black">That being said, it's very frustrating when you know TAC has the ability to assist in a situation but policy prevents it. A perfect example is UC admins who work in an environment where the cluster
security password has been lost over time. Yes, you're an admin and yes, it's technically possible to actually retrieve the cluster security password. But the official position is no; you have to reset it and take an outage on every host in your cluster.
With root access, it takes less than 5 minutes to SSH into a UCOS host, download the platformConfig.xml and decode the cluster security password.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:black"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:black">It gets worse in DR situations. In the last two months I've received requests for help from a couple UC admins affected by recent hurricanes. One of them was running CUCM 8.6 and it was technically
possible to modify the XML and do a DRS restore without knowing the previous cluster security password. TAC's response? Sorry, can't help. Even though Cisco had a backdoor in the backups for years and could have helped restore, they would not use it to
assist a customer whose primary datacenter was knocked offline.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:black"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:black">Besides, anyone with admin level rights to a host (or the hypervisor) has de facto root access. As we've all seen, a quick Google search shows that rooting a UCOS host is a trivial matter if you
have access to the hypervisor. The only real difference here is that this method requires rights within the application to enable the root access.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:black"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:black">Aside from being useful in lab environments, this route provides a last ditch resort where the cluster is out of support or TAC cannot assist due to policy constraints. And I say policy constraints
because I know for a fact they have capabilities they don't employ for customers. At one time, nearly 10% my tool downloads (DRS Backup Decrypter, PlatformConfig Decrypter, etc.) came from Cisco's own IP addresses.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:black"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:black">So while I do agree with you when it comes to the potential harm this could cause, I would respectfully disagree on whether or not the benefit outweighs the risk.</span></p>
