VMware ESX host (no vSphere/vCenter) auth problem | Product Discussions

Hi,In vSphere I have added a local account (Read-only) for LM to poll it. This works fine.However when trying to add an actual ESX host I get access denied. In vSphere for each host, I can see that the local account I created has propagated down just fine, so what else can be the cause?When the Add Device Wizard fails, if I manually specify the creds it still fails, but I can manually specify the ESX host built-in root account and it works fine. So do we need to additionally have a local user account on each ESX host, and that the vSphere inherited perms don’t work for LM?Thanks
