  • 1.  Cannot complete login due to an incorrect user name or password

    Posted Jan 09, 2012 02:05 PM

    I have ESXI 5.0 vcenter and vsphere client.

    My vcenter is installed on a Windows 2008 R2 ssytem.

    When I log into the vsphere client with an administrator account of the vcenter windows server system I have no issue.

    When I log onto vsphere client with a non-administrator account of the windows server system, I receive the following error:

    Error Connecting

    Cannot complete login due to an incorrect user name or password

    I believe the problem is due to a setting in secpol of the windows server system.

    Does anyone know which configuration setting or key would be required to allow non-administrators access to the vcenter through vsphere client?

    Thanks,

    Pete

    Error Connecting

    Cannot complete login due to an incorrect user name or password

    This account, is it in an Role assigned permissions within vCenter?

    HI,

    Login as administrator/equvalent into VI or vSphere clients -->home --> Host and Clusters > Select the vCenterserver-> Permission --> rt click in blank space and Add permission --> Select the role which you want to add for a particular user and Add the user.

    Thanks

    Troubleshot problem, it was from a result of implementing a security configuration on the Windows Server 2008 R2.

    The configuration in the secpol.msc-> user rights assignment-> Access this computer from the network.

    The setting was set to administrators only, after adding users to the setting, all users were able to login with the windows credentials..

    • You can access and manage vCenter vm console but not in vclient.
    • Have you restart vcenter vm several times?
    • Check vCenter services if started.
    • Failed in manually start/restarted vCenter services
    • Check vCenter database log free capacity
    • Add additional capacity to your database log
    • Check vCenter services is started
    • Connect to your vClient using vcenter user name and password.
    • Managent your datacenter

        

         Enjoy let me know if you have question..
