I am currently unable to login to my vCenter 6.5 web client. I keep getting an error "User name and password are required" when trying to login. I only get the error when imputing a correct username and password. I have used multiple user accounts and computers with the same error. Anyone have any idea on how to fix this?
if u are installed vcenter for the first time try:
login: administrator@vsphere.local
password: ( the password that u configured in setup process)
Thanks for the reply. I've tried the administrator@vsphere.local account and get the same error.
are you using vsphere web client flash?
Have you tried using html5 client? https://vcenter-fqdn:5480
let me know how that works
I was going to https://vcenter-fqdn/ui/ when I got the error. I just tried going to https://vcenter-fqdn:5480/ and logging in but get "Unable to authenticate. Try again."
Sorry, my mistake, you wont be able to log un to :5840 with administrator@vsphere.local.
You might with root, but it's not vsphere client
Have you tried using other browser?
Yes I have and on another computer.
Okay, let me provide you some useful links:
[SOLVED] vCenter login failing - Spiceworks
I have some additional information. When trying the IP of vcenter I get the following error:
[400] An error occurred while sending an authentication request to the vCenter Single Sign-On server - An error occurred when processing the metadata during vCenter Single Sign-On setup - com.vmware.vim.vmomi.client.exception.ConnectionException: java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out.
Looks like sts certs are expired..
That's what I was thinking. I figured out that I needed to Regenerate a new VMCA Root Certificate and replace all certificates.
I have entered the same credentials for the ESXI and it worked with me.
In my case the username is root and password that you've assigned.
