Has anyone run into this scenario?

I can login fine from my test server via the browser.  When I try to login from my Blackberry Curve this shows up in the logs:

May 27 12:03:33 esx1 vmware-authd(pam_unix)[4678]: authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty= ruser=          rhost=  user=root
May 27 12:03:33 esx1 vmware-hostd[4678]: pam_krb5: authenticate error: Client not found in Kerberos database          (-1765328378)
May 27 12:03:33 esx1 vmware-hostd[4678]: pam_krb5: authentication fails for `root'
May 27 12:03:36 esx1 vmware-hostd[4678]: Rejected password for user root from 127.0.0.1

The bottom is a successful authentication from my desktop to the server:

May 27 12:04:09 esx1 vmware-hostd[4678]: Accepted password for user root from 127.0.0.1

Hi! I'm Andrew and hopefully I can help with your problem. I notice your logs are VMware logs and not actually VMM logs. Could you please send me your VMM logs? Thanks! (Just attach them to a reply).

Hi Andrew - Thanks for getting back to me.  As for attaching to a reply I don't see an option anywhere to attach the logs.  Maybe I'm missing something?

I received your logs via e-mail, thank you. May I ask you a favor? Could you stop VMM, delete ALL the VMM logs, and then reproduce the error. I think I found the clue I need, but I cannot be sure as there are so many log entries that do not have to do with the error.

Thank you!

Hi Andrew - I resent you the zip file.  Thanks again for looking!  I logged on two times from my workstation using both .jsp's.  Then I tried from my Blackberry so it should have the error message.

Nick,

I received the logs and reviewed them. There are no errors present :( Does the error on the blackberry have any text associated with it? We had another case where lite mode produced a 500 error on the blackberry, but the server is not set up to log those errors. I am investigating how to log such an error with tomcat (remember, tomcat isn't a webserver, it's an application server).
