Verifying User
Authentication Credentials
If you are certain that the connection
parameters are correct, verify the authentication parameters. To complete a
connection, you must authenticate as a user that is known to the managed
server.
Connect to the managed server through the console
and check that your root password is correct. Then use that password to
authenticate as the root user from your client.
If the managed server is in lockdown mode, you
must authenticate using a CIM ticket obtained from vCenter Server. See
for more information about using a CIM
ticket to authenticate.
