Sudden Authorization Problem (HMC)

in LPAR2RRD
Hello,

I just got lpar2rrd up and running this morning on a RHEL 7.8 vm. Everything seemed to be going well, It looked like it was ingesting data and finally started to create some graphs. I was connect to one of our PowerSystems HMCs.


But after about 3 hours of it running It looks like all of a sudden the IBM Power Systems configuration was changed/lost/corrupted?


I keep getting this error now when I click the "Connection Test" button:


API host network connection: TCP connection to 172.xx.xx.xx:12443 is OK.
API authorization (lpar2rrd): User lpar2rrd authorization failed on https://172.xx.xx.xxx:12443. Check username and password


I haven't changed anything on the HMC side, or on the lpar2rrd side of thing.


[lpar2rrd@x ~]# perl /home/lpar2rrd/lpar2rrd/bin/conntest.pl 172.xx.xx.xxx 12443
Connection to "172.xx.xx.xxx" on port "12443" is ok


The strange thing is I can ssh from the lpar2rrd server to the HMC and log in with the provided username and password


[lpar2rrd@cor089a174 ~]$ ssh 172.xx.xx.xxx
Password:
Last login: Thu Aug 26 11:09:22 2021 from 172.xx.xx.xxx
lpar2rrd@HMC:~>


I ever tried changing the password on the HMC side for that user, I can ssh into the HMC with the new password. But I'm still getting the same error as above:

API authorization (lpar2rrd): User lpar2rrd authorization failed on https://172.xx.xx.xxx:12443. Check username and password


I then created a completely new "test" user on the HMC, confirmed password via ssh. The new user is still getting the same error:

API authorization (test_lpar2rrd): User test_lpar2rrd authorization failed on https://172.xx.xx.xxx:12443. Check username and password.

Any thoughts/recommendations?
