Issues:
A. Want to add a non LDAP/AD user to locally authenticate to the vCenter appliance.
B. How to unlock a locked user because of too many password failures.
A. Solution:
1. Let's add the user mwadmin with the password vm1lotus1
vcenterconsole:/# useradd mwadmin
vcenterconsole:/# passwd mwadmin
Changing password for mwadmin.
New UNIX password: vm1lotus1
Password changed.
2. Using the vSphere client, login as the root user and assign the new user permissions as normal.
Note: Do not use the useradd.local command.
B. Solution:
Let's assume both mwadmin a local account and mwuser a MW Domain account are both locked.
vcenterconsole:/# pam_tally --mwadmin --reset
vcenterconsole:/# pam_tally --mwuser@mindwatering.domain --reset
