Hypervisor 8.2 - "Incorrect user name and/or password"

[Steve Savenelli]

Ok, just did a fresh install of Hypervisor 8.2 and XenCenter 8.2, gave root a simple password (only alphanumeric, 8 char)

 

I have the XenCenter and Hypervisor on same network, no firewall rules denying services, able to ping by host name, no IP conflict

 

From the mgmt workstation, I can ping easily, but what seems to be the issue is that both XenCenter AND SSH (putty) will NOT take the user/password combo.

Tried from a different workstation, same issue.  For the life of me I can not figure out why.. Not a good start for a eval to replace VMware...

 

Any ideas??

Yep, did that 3 times.. no change.. same error.. very bizarre.. Going to back down to 8.1 to see if same error persists, but still this is bizarre.. Hopefully Citrix will chime in, esp if they want new business..

Only other thought for now is a BIOS setting or some hardware incompatibility.

With a new install the first place to start is by making sure the server is on the HCL.

Good luck on your migration, I'm doing one right now and its not fun.
