Description
Hello after upgrading to Vsphere 6.5 the script stopped working.
I noticed the script running in my customers environment for about 3 years was outdated and got the latest version from the report
Now when I execute as below
vmwarevSphereHealthCheck.pl --server 10.10.10.10 --username ABC\myname --password Mypassword123--type vcenter --datacenter City-West --email yes
the result is
Error: Cannot complete login due to an incorrect user name or password.
I tried it against two different vcenters and got the same error about incorrect password
Is there a catch I didn't get with the input parameters ?
Thanks a million
Olivier

Research direction
Start by reproducing the command shown for vmwarevSphereHealthCheck.pl against vSphere 6.5, checking how the --server, --username, --password, and --type vcenter parameters are handled. Compare the login behavior with the older working environment; done means the script authenticates successfully without reporting incorrect credentials.
