vCenter Log Insight Config issue?

[Vader]

Here's the error:







Normally I would say, yeah..I fat fingered my password..etc....but that's not the case. That's the user account that I use to log into vCenter, it has all the necessary access but barfs every time I try to get Log Insight Connected to vCenter.

Try a different syntax on your username maybe it doesn't like that format. And you can leave the password off the command and it will prompt for it if you want.

On a different note Log Insight is pretty awesome so far...fills a nice gap.

I'm not sure if you are using SSO and all of that fun stuff but, just from a syntax test you could try the username and password in quotes to check for any invalid chars or remove the domain from the username.
Also test the user/pass via powerCLI or another type of auth interface.

also try domain\user (the old school way).

I've tried it all ways...still an issue...this is just weird.

Holy crap..i'm really stumped here. I've tried everything I know to try and it still will not validate the credentials. I'm going to create a new account and give it admin access to vCenter to see if it will work.

EDIT:

Nope..same error..Invalid Credentials....hrmmmmm maybe it's the password it doesn't like with the special character.
