vApp Login issue
Hi,
I just deployed ProsPhere 1.7 on our Lab environment. I'm able to get to the ProsPhere WebPage to login but when I try to put in the default username and Password I keep getting an error. Has anyone seen this before?
Thanks

Were you able to successfully deploy ProSphere 1.7 in your lab after correcting the underscores in the hostnames?
It was actually the ProSphere 1.7 Deployment Guide that had the information you needed,
Avoid underscores in hostnames
The Internet standards for protocols mandate that hostname labels can contain only the ASCII letters “a” through “z” (in a non-case-sensitive manner), the digits “0” through “9”, and the hyphen (“-”). No other symbols, punctuation characters, or white spaces are permitted.
If ProSphere encounters a host name with an underscore, users can be prevented from logging in.
You can confirm the situation by searching the log files for the following string:
IllegalArgumentException: Host cannot be null

In the vSphere client, right click the ProSphere vApp and choose Edit Settings. Click Properties on the dialog that appears, can you take screen shots of that page and paste them here?
Also, if I recall correctly for a new deployment, this is the behavior you will get if you do not have valid DNS entries for the ProSphere hosts. If you ssh to your ProSphere Application (StorageResourceManager) virtual machine and login as root/PS{15)rOSdf, run "nslookup ", does that resolve the ip address?

I get "Please verify and re-enter your login information" then after I hit Ok on the box this next error appears
"Login failed due to an internal error in the Authentication Service.
Contact the EMC Customer Support for a resolution to this error. "

Thanks. So a couple things to note.
1. Your ProSphere VM has upper case characters in the name, see the note above it that states the names need to be all lower case. I would really recommend you redeploy to fix this, it will save you trouble in the future.
2. Your DNS server is 127.0.0.1. You need to provide a valid DNS server. Using a local hosts file is not an option, because the file gets overwritten on reboot.

Thanks a lot.
I think I got it figured out now. I'll redeploy and use lower case and also the correct DNS

Hi,
I redeployed and corrected the DNS and also used lowercase for the names and I still can't login. I SSH to the vApp and ran the NSLOOKUP and everything is good.
Anymore ideas??

Does the reverse lookup on the IP address of each host also work?

Right, but does
nslookup return the correct hostname?

I also just noticed the underscore in your hostnames. Can you check the ProSphere 1.7 release notes? I believe there is a limitation with underscores in the hostname.

I did Thanks a lot. I got it all up and running.
I did read that in the manual after I got it running. Good learning experience.

Hi everyone,
I've got a similar problem. My hostnames used lower-case alphabet characters only. I checked DNS and everything was OK (forwared and reversed).
Is there anybody has an idea?
