Splunk Add-on for VMware: Fetching inventory successfully but failing to authenticate for data pull

$

Hi All, Facing an issue. Just got Splunk Add-on for VMware installed on my dev environment and not able to fetch data. What happens: 1. Plugged in Splunk user - all validated, green checkmark. 2. Plugged in vCenter hostname, username+password - all validated, green checkmark and fetched the inventory (all included ESXi servers). When I enable data pulling, nothing happens. Checking internal logs, found this message: 2019-10-19 17:28:51,087 ERROR [ta_vmware_collection_worker://alpha:25993] Problem with hydra worker ta_vmware_collection_worker://alpha:25993: ('Could not login to target=%s with username=%s after num_retries=%s', 'vcenter.host', 'domain\\vcenter_user', 3) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/splunk/etc/apps/SA-Hydra/bin/hydra/hydra_worker.py", line 618, in run self.assignJobToHandler(cur_job) File "/opt/splunk/etc/apps/SA-Hydra/bin/hydra/hydra_worker.py", line 452, in assignJobToHandler session = self.getSessionForTarget(job_tuple.target, config["username"], config["realm"]) File "/opt/splunk/etc/apps/SA-Hydra/bin/hydra/hydra_worker.py", line 420, in getSessionForTarget session_stanza = self.updateSessionStanza(session_stanza, target, username, realm) File "/opt/splunk/etc/apps/SA-Hydra/bin/hydra/hydra_worker.py", line 349, in updateSessionStanza session = self.loginToTarget(target, username, password, realm) File "/opt/splunk/etc/apps/Splunk_TA_vmware/bin/ta_vmware_collection_worker.py", line 55, in loginToTarget raise Exception("Could not login to target=%s with username=%s after num_retries=%s", target, user, retry_count) Exception: ('Could not login to target=%s with username=%s after num_retries=%s','vcenter.host', 'domain\\vcenter_user', 3) Of course, vcenter.host and domain\\vcenter.user are correct values. Dev instance is a single instance so avoiding any DCN, time sync, etc. issues. The weirdest thing is, how comes it gets the inventory but then fails to login. On the same host, netapp works perfectly. Any help/hints appreciated. Thank you. Splunk: v7.1.4 Splunk Add-on for VMware: v3.4.5 vCenter: v6.5
