Was able to log in to ESXi and find the VM by name, then any attempts to log in
to the VM fail. I am able to connect and login to a Windows guest just fine. I
created additional users in my unix VM and tested, all of which failed the same
with the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./test.py", line 20, in <module>
vm.login_in_guest("user1", "password")
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pysphere/vi_virtual_machine.py", line 1044, in login_in_guest

raise VIApiException(e)
pysphere.resources.vi_exception.VIApiException: [InvalidGuestLoginFault]:
Failed to authenticate with the guest operating system using the supplied

System info of the VM running the script:

See ubuntu.png for the version information of the VM (only able to get console
access and no copy/paste for text mode)
The VM is running an updated version on VMware tools.
-See ubuntu2.png picture
Finally, I tested this on an Ubuntu Desktop VM and a different Ubuntu Server
VM, all of which returned the same error as above.
Let me know if I need to provide any further information.
