When trying pair my sites I get the attached error (cannot complete login due to an incorrect user and password)
The error occurs with 65% after the process started.
I have already reinstalled SRM on both sites.
SRM 6.5
Hi,
Could you ZIP and post your log files for analysis?
They are located here:
ProgramData\VMware\VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager\Logs\
Thanks.
Your log file suggests a connection issue between the SRM instances, are there any firewalls between the 2 SRM servers and also, are you able to ping between the two to ensure good connectivity?
A few other things to check are that you have DNS A and PTR records configures and the time on the vCenter Server(s) and SRM server(s) are all the same.
It could also be an SSL Certificate issue, but on a new install I doubt this.
Let us know the results and we can look further.
FYI, this is the error in the log that is repeated:

Thanks, Graham
There is no firewall between sites. The 4 servers resolve names between them, DNS OK
vCenter01 Production - Windows Server 2016
vCenter02 Backup - Windows Server 2016
SRM01 Production - Windows Server 2016
SRM01 Backup - Windows Server 2016.
All are in the same VLAN.
After research, I believe it can be certified. How to validate the certificate?
Hi Davi,
The SSL certificate generation in 6.x is conducted at the point of installing SRM, if you reinstall you should see the option there.
Hi,
The errors below are presented even without any action.

Did you fix initial issue?
As from your logs it's obvious that you have a problem with SSL certs
I won't post VC's name, just a snippet
--> The remote host certificate has these problems:
-->
--> * The host certificate chain is incomplete.
-->
--> * unable to get local issuer certificate"
--> [context]
Do you use your own certs or you are on default certs?
Hi,
We use the default certificate.
I have already reinstalled SRM at both Sites.
So did this help or you still have the issue?
I still have the problem. Is it possible to resend the certificates? Repair?
A modify install of SRM allows you to use newly created certs or custom certs that you created.. you have to do the same on both sites.
Earlier to version 6 it was mandatory the SRM sould be using the similar certificates as vCenter.. example if vCenter is using custom certs SRM should also be using custom certs.
However from version 6 there is no such mandatory requirement from SRM.

This is the error which you've got.
Am I right that you have embeded PSC configuration?
If so can you check sts-idmd.log on sitvc01dcc01.sit.local for the this timestamp.
As well can you check that you have all necessary ports opened VMware Knowledge Base
why is that in the SSL certificates I see one certificate with IP and the other with hostname.
can you make sure your vCenter certificates are similar.. what kind of vCenter certs are you using..?
Is SRM installed on the same machine as vCenter?
Resolved
Opened a case with the support and the steps of the link below were performed:
But it was necessary to reconfigure the VR and VUM
Thanks!!
