The San Volume Controller (SVC) is configured to use an authentication service to control which users are authorized to access the cluster. An error has occurred while the SVC was attempting to contact the authentication service. The error is probably the result of an incorrect configuration, either of the SVC or of the authentication service. This error occurs if the SSL certificate, user name or password is incorrect.
Ensure that the authentication service is functioning properly. Ensure that the SVC authentication service configuration is correct. Resubmit the task.
