created local user but cannot login

[tdubb123]

I created a localuser on 6.5 esxi server but cannot login as user

connect-viserver -server esxiserver -user root -password "mypass"

New-VMHostAccount -Id test -Password "mypass" -UserAccount -GrantShellAccess -Server esxiserver

new-vipermission -entity -principal test -role admin -server esxiserver

any idea?

What kind of login, SSH or Connect-VIServer?

connect-viserver local to esxi user

Are you sure the user has been created, the password you provide needs to follow the complexity rules (as defined to the PAM).

Just tried, for me it seems to be working (with a password that follows the rules).

try login with domain\username and your password

default domain is vsphere.local
