VMware: Failed to authenticate… ServerFaultCode: Cannot complete login due to an incorrect user name or password

Modified on Thu, Oct 10 at 4:13 PM

The username format required to access the API of VMware products can vary between different products and platforms. The two possible formats are:

username@vsphere.example.com

VSPHERE.EXAMPLE.COM\username

If one of the formats doesn't work, you may need to try the other.
