For no matter what client I try, that I can successfully log in to to perform any function I wish, all ESXi Health Monitor does is give me the error "UNKNOWN: Authentication Error". Doesn't matter how old or new the ESXi server is.
I even tried creating a user account with no special symbols in the username or password.
I tried emailing support and the farthest I've gotten so far was someone letting me know they activated my forum account.
Any thoughts? Thanks!
UNKNOWN: Authentication Error
Re: UNKNOWN: Authentication Error
Any thoughts from anyone? I've reached out to support several times and have gotten absolute radio silence.
Re: UNKNOWN: Authentication Error
Have been regularly attempting to get support and have had absolutely no feedback. No forum feedback.
I've asked for support one final time before I just deem the product non-functional, the company non-responsive, and seek a refund through my CC.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
David

Re: UNKNOWN: Authentication Error
Wanted to submit an update and let others who come across this know that I was contacted following the holidays. The non-responsiveness was due to the holiday-time office closure and whatnot.
Shannon reached out to me and spent a bunch of time diagnosing and getting us working. It turns out that it appears to be something specific to our hosted instance of Labtech not allowing a specific variable to be set.
All is forgiven and all are redeemed. Thank you so very much for your assistance. You've already helped us identify a down drive in a large array.

Re: UNKNOWN: Authentication Error
We have an update as to why the Var set fails. We decrypt the ESX password in SQL and save it to a variable. SomeTimes this variable has -9999 as the output but the input was the correct password.
I recently found out, and enjoy loudly complaining about the fact that when you use "Variable Set: Constant" with a value like `!BeerMeTheStrength` Automate ignores what you expect, and treats it as if you did "Variable Set: SQL QUERY" with a query of `SELECT BeerMeTheStrength;` ...
Any value that starts with `!` is assumed to be a SQL query body... And -9999 is the Automate Null/Invalid value in the typical event of your string NOT being a valid SQL Body.....
*I AM PUSHING HARD TO GET THIS REMOVED.*
