Hello,
When I set up my AWS PANG to FIPS-CC mode I am not able to set the admin account password. I tested the paloaltonetworks.panos.panos_admpwd module before enabling FIPS-CC and it works utilizing the priv key (RSA 4096). I successfully set up one firewall on FIPS-CC and set up the admin account password. My VM Mode Amazon AWS
PANG Software Version is 10.1.14-h8. I get the following prompts via my ansible runbook:
Enter Palo Alto admin username:
Enter file path and name for key file:
Enter Palo Alto IP address:
Enter new password for admin account:
It seems to work before enabling fips-cc mode.
my ansible runbook pip file

Any ideas on why this might not be working?

Or maybe there is a FIPS Admin iD/password?
My steps are the following,
Build PANG PAYG firewall->set complex admin password->access web management with complex password->set up "debug system maintenace mode"->enable fips-cc via the AWS console -> reboot firewall-> attempt to log via web management with the admin account password-> fail

Hi @gustheitguy ,
I would recommend ssh via private key into the palo. Once ssh'd in , create a separate superuser and use that separate account for auth.
