Cannot login using OLDAP connection to vSphere anymore

[DreamlessMojo]

My issue is I am no longer able to authenticate with vSphere using my OLDAP connection using FreeIPA. This kind of happened out of nowhere. I upgraded to VSCA 6.5 6 months ago from 6.0 and have not experienced this problem before. I can only login using the vsphere.local domain using the standard administrator account.

Here is my environment set up.

(vCenter Server Appliance) VCSA 6.5.0.1000

ESXi Hosts are 6.0

All hosts are running CentOS 7.3

ODLAP Source is FreeIPA running 4.4.0 API_VERSION:2.2.13

I am using FreeIPA as my IDM solution to connect to my vSphere env and have been doing so successfully for the past year.

Here is a good start to my issue except I am not trying to add a new LDAP connection I am trying to troubleshoot an existing connection. I believe I started to run into this issue when I changed passwords to all hosts, servers, esxi hosts, and ILOs when we had an employee leave which is pretty standard across the industry. I am not sure if this coincidental or directly correlated
