Cannot log in with valid credentials
Symptom
You cannot log in even when you enter valid credentials. The authentication attempt is not successful, and access is denied. The issue may continue across multiple login attempts without any change in behavior.
Cause
This issue can occur for one or more of the following reasons:
-
The credentials provided for the host are incorrect or invalid.
-
The user account does not have sufficient permissions to access the host.
-
Host authentication policies or access restrictions prevent login, even when the credentials are valid.
Action
- Verify the username and password on the host operating system.
- Confirm that the user has the required administrative privileges.
- Review authentication logs for additional details or restrictions affecting the login attempt.
