NIS authentication with vCSA

[VyattaNATRouter]

Hi All,

I am scratching my head as to why I cannot get users from my NIS Domain authenticated through the Vsphere client.

While setting up the appliance I was able to enter in the pertinent information about NIS domain authentication.  After doing this I am able to assign permission to userids pulled from this in the Vsphere Client while logged in as the local root user.  But I cannnot log in to the client using these usernames.

I am able to ssh to the appliance and then su to any user indicating that the system does in fact recognize that they are a real user.  But when attempting to log into the Vsphere Client i get a message stating connection failed on the client and on the vCSA in the /var/log/messages file I am seeing this error:

Nov 30 15:43:47 seti-vcenter5-01 vpxd: pam_tally(vmware-authd:auth): user *USERIDHERE*(312498) tally 11, deny 3

Of course *USERIDHERE* is the actual username i am attempting to login in with.

Any Help would be Greatly Appreciated

I thought i would followup since I have gotten this working in case someone else sees the same problem.  After playing around with the pam_tally command I had quite a bit of failed attempts and realized i might be locked out.    Issued the pam_tally --username --reset command and low and behold I was able to login!   Well Alright!

Thanks
