pam_succeed_if(sfcb:auth): error retrieving information about user

[robvoi3]

Hi,

while trying to find a hint for a differnt problem I discovered tons of messages like this one in syslog.log

sfcb-CIMXML-Processor[45596]: pam_succeed_if(sfcb:auth): error retrieving information about user xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx

Does someone have clue where this might come from? Or how I can find it out?

Thanks

Robert

Hi,

is it possible to find out about which user information could not be retrieved from?

‌I can't give you an answer but I have exactly the same problem as you.

I Have the latest version of ESXi with the latest version of VCSA but I can't figure out how to solve this problem or at least find information about the user.

Having the same problem. It floods the logs

We're also having this issue (vSphere 6.0 Update 2 / ESXi 6.0.0, 3620759). Discovered it via Log Insight. Will post back if I find a resolution.

I came across the same issue on the latest build of esx. this only occurs on some hosts but not all. Did you ever find a solution?

i noticed the same message in esxi6u2.

do you maybe have an nfs datastore mounted on your esxi-hosts and using active directory at your site?

... maybe there is a relation to this topic: Using the ESX Admins AD group with ESX/ESXi 4.1 and ESXi 5.x/6.x domain membership and user authenti... and vmware did not update the log-messages in the kb yet .)
