    Thanks all for the reply, I have tried to use admin/root as well as my Tacacs credentials and all of them throwing this error.  I dont see this issue with code 15.1.6.1.

    The connectivity from BIG IQ to the VCMP guest is good as i can telnet over port 443 as well as 22.

        Yes thats correct, No issues with 15.1.6.1.

        I have already tried to clear rest java storage and restated the restjavad process as well, i know the upgrade to 15.1.6.1 will fix the issue however was looking for some workaround solution.
