box293 - Problem adding vCenter

Hi,

I am installing box293, i have added all my vCenter successfully following the documentation however my last vCenter doesn't want to authenticate

vi-admin@localhost:~> /usr/lib/vmware-vcli/apps/general/credstore_admin.pl add --server 10.129.175.10 --username readonly
Enter password:
Re-enter password:


vi-admin@localhost:~> ~/box293_check_vmware.pl --server 10.129.175.10 --check vCenter_Name_Version --username readonly
UNKNOWN: Error: Cannot complete login due to an incorrect user name or password.


The readonly user exists and i can confirm the password is correct (running runas /user:readonly works)

vi-admin@localhost:~> /usr/lib/vmware-vcli/apps/general/credstore_admin.pl list
Server User Name
10.1.1.201 readonly
10.1.105.3 readonly
10.129.175.10 readonly
10.72.175.20 readonly
10.73.175.20 readonly

What am i missing?

Thanks, i had to remove a double entry with credtsore and add the server using [email protected] since this is a local user.

Problem solved
