Horizon View 6 - a few users must attempt to log in repeadly

Usually by the fourth attempt, they are authenticated. Otherwise they get "unknown user name or bad password" and eventually "Maximum login attempts exceeded".

Interestingly, in the connections server security logs, sometimes there are no audit failed or succeeded entries for these people. Its almost like they are authenticating to some phantom connections server. Any ideas?

Connection server 6.0.0 build-1884746

Linux Horizon View Client 3.1.0-2095124

After scouring the KB's, this is the closest thing I could come up with:

http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=203595...

These do not appear to be relevant:

http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=200170...

http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=202180...

http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=205261...

http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=208668...

I was able to find client logs and for these attempts, there was the event log faulure "Unknown user name or bad password". But I swear it was typed correctly. Looks like it took 11 attempts here:

Update:

Users report that the username field is pre populated with whitespace that can not be removed on first three attempts

The cmd line we are using is: vmware-view -s https://connectionserver.domain.local  --domainName=domain.local --nonInteractive --nomenubar --lockServer --once -K --protocol=PCOIP --allmonitors --desktopSize=all

Hello Eric,

Did you get your problem resolved, I having the same Issus, just a few user after repeatedly login attempts they access a desktop. After every filed attempt  I get a Audit failure event message in Horizon "User XXXXXX@students.XXXXX.edu failed to authenticate because of a bad username or password.

When trying to track down authentication problems like this, it is best to leverage the html client pointed at each connection server.

This will avoid load balancer issues, security / uag issues, and help determine if it is a specific connection server is failing to complete the user authentication.
