Hey all,

Using this guide:

http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/resources/582

I've got my ESX box to auth users against AD. The problem is, when I try to logon with the VI Client I get "Error Connecting - Permission to perform this operation was denied.". If I enter the wrong password, it says "login failed due to a bad username or password." so it seems able to work out who I am.

If I pick a user who I've not run "useradd" for I just got the "login failed" message again.

In the server messages I get:

Aug 28 15:37:48 server vmware-authd(pam_unix)[1842]: authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty= ruser= rhost= user=myaccount
Aug 28 15:37:49 server vmware-hostd[1842]: pam_krb5: authentication succeeds for `myaccount
Aug 28 15:37:49 server vmware-hostd[1842]: Accepted password for user myaccount from 1.2.3.4

Any ideas what else I need to do? NTP is running so the time is sync'd.

I tried adding the user account to the root group, but it still didn't work. I've seen other posts talk about adding it to the administrators/manager group but I know how as they don't seem to exist. Am I missing something?

Thanks!
