vSphere PW changed (itself?)

[Rand__]

So I have two ESXi boxes which I can't login to any more all of a sudden...
Two more are fine, but its quite weird...
Also, browser was complaining about host cert of vCenter

Recently installed the latest updates to both vSphere and vCenter...

Feeling a little uneasy here There are no viruses targeting ESXi are there?

Ok, tried remediation via Host profiles... didnt work since it didnt want to play balls with my temporarily disabled 2nd uplink port...

But then i found this:


Now I need to find out whats flooding my ESXi boxes all of a sudden... probably monitoring...

I had that same problem back when we used Nessus.

Been running librenms for years against these boxes and never had this issue...

Well I cleaned up the librenms ssh host keys, we will see if it helps. Good thing is, vCenter is not logged out and a reboot resets the counter, so at least it can be worked on...

Edit - just in case

Was it due to changes in pwd complexity rules with any recent updates/security patches?

I have not been able to determine that yet but i guess so. Installed updates like 3 days ago and only coincidentally logged in to a host today
