This is a known issue affecting ESXi 6.0 Update 2.
To work around this issue if you do not want to upgrade, increase the sasl buffer size by editing the /etc/likewise/openldap/ldap.conf file on each affected ESXi host.
Note: This work around does not persist across reboots.
To increase the sasl buffer size:
- Connect to the ESXi host with an SSH session using root credentials.
Note: If the host is not accessible through SSH, a reboot may be required.
- Run these commands to change the maximum memory allocated to the Likewise service:
- /etc/init.d/lwsmd stop && sed -i "s@4096@8192@" /etc/likewise/openldap/ldap.conf && /etc/init.d/lwsmd start
- vsish -e set /sched/groups/$(vsish -e set /sched/groupPathNameToID host vim
