Authentication failure

Symptom

Alert Type ID: trap.authenticationFailure

Description: Authentication failure.

Severity: Unknown

Health Category: None

Resource URI: /rest/server-hardware/{UUID}

Source MIB: RFC1215-MIB

Cause

The sending protocol entity is the addressee of a protocol message that is not properly authenticated. While implementations of the SNMP must be capable of generating this trap, they must also be capable of suppressing the emission of such traps via an implementation-specific mechanism.

Action

Check if there is any other application or tool in the environment that is trying to access the iLO via SNMP. If so, ensure the application or tool is using the correct community string for this access.
