This authentication error typically occurs when the system clocks are not synchronized between the Domain Server and the CEP Server. In a recent case, running the date command revealed a time difference of approximately two minutes between the servers.
Such clock desynchronization can cause password authentication failures due to mismatched timestamps, which are often critical in secure communications and token validation.
Resolution:
To prevent and resolve this issue, ensure that the system clocks are synchronized across the following servers:
Domain Server
CEP Server
WGS Server
