Solved Error connecting to authd on host Posted on 2010-03-11 VMware Virtualization 2 Verified Solutions 10 Comments 1,615 Views Last Modified: 2012-05-09 We have Virtual Center 2.5 installed on a server. When trying to connect to the console for a virtual machine through the VMWare Infrastructure Client (From the Vcenter server), we get the error: Error connecting to authd on host. We get the same error when going through a webbrowser to the Virtual Center server, or directly to the ESX hosts. However it works just fine if we connect from another workstation to the Virtual Center server. I've researched and tried about everything to fix this but without luck. The VCenter server and the workstation on which it works fine are running the same version of VIC. Your help would be very much appreciated. 0 Question by:gimosuby Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Google LVL 3 Best Solution bygimosuby Okay, here we go...

Until recently I have been able https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/25346866/Error-connecting-to-authd-on-host.html to connect through the VI Client andweb ui. Nothing on the ESX server has been changed or updated. I have tried different laptops to connect through the client andweb interface. I get mixed results. Some of the laptops were able toconnect through the client and web ui and others get the same authderror. This leads me to believe that something on the https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/231216b1-0fa8-41ff-b24f-aba1ac13f45a/vmware-infrastructure-client-error-on-windows-xp-professional-error-connecting-to-authd-on-host?forum=itproxpsp laptop(s)(Microsoft) arecausing my issue. All of the laptops are using Windows XP SP2, IE 8,.net 3.5 sp1. I have tried to find dll's that are different in version#, but nothing has surfaced. Has anyone had problems with certain Microsoft fixpacks or other updates or versions of Microsoft software that caused their vmware client to stop functioning correctly. Thanks for any help!!

Weblog The weblog of an IT pro specializing in virtualization, networking, open source, and cloud computing Strange ESX Server Error 29 June 2006 I spent the day today working with ESX Server 3.0 and VirtualCenter 2.0, the next-generation products from VMware. After shutting down one of the older ESX 2.5.3 servers in the test lab and then booting it back up again, I ran into an error trying to start some of the VMs. At first, I tried starting the VM (which, again, was hosted on an ESX Server running version 2.5.3 Upgrade Patch 1) from VirtualCenter 2.0. The error was something along the lines of “General System Error, VirtualCenter is Unable to Set the Power State of the Server” (or similar). Thinking perhaps that it was an incompatibility between the new version of VirtualCenter and the older version of ESX Server, I opened an SSH session to the Service Console and tried using vmware-cmd. From the Service Console, I used this command: vmware-cmd /home/vmware/vsbgw01/vsbgw01.vmx start I received an error there, too; this error was something along the lines of: There was an error connecting to the specified virtual machine: Unexpected response from vmware-authd: The process exited with an error: Cannot change mode of /var/run/vmware to 01777: Operation not permitted Failed to initialize the VMX VMDB instance A quick search on the Internet turned up this VMTN community forum thread, where I learned the problem was permissions on the /var/run/vmware directory. The thread has all the pertinent information to fix it, and after running the command mentioned in the thread all the VMs started up just fine—both from the Service Console command line as well as from VirtualCenter. I’m not sure how the permissions got changed, but in the event you run into that error yourself, here’s the fix. UPDATE: I ran into this problem again, and to make finding the solution easier, I’m including the full details here instead of making readers follow the link. Basically, the error is the result of losing the “sticky bit” on the /var/run/vmware directory, and running the command chmod 01777 /var/run/vmware as root will fix the problem. The correct permissions for the directory should be “drwxrwxrwt” in the directory listing. Tags: ESX
