When you start the horizon client and you get a popup to change your password, or the admin requires you to change the password. It could happen that you receive a message to input a valid username and password…
If you enable the debug mode on you tenant appliance:
- login to your tenant appliance.
- vi /usr/local/desktone/release/active/conf/desktone-log4j.xml
- Change the row: <logger name=”com.desktone” level=”info” /> to <logger name=”com.desktone” level=”debug” />
When you retry the password reset you will see messages like:

Somehow it does not tell you the real issue… After contacting VMware Support, they asked me to check the users in AD (afterwards this was to easy :-)). I saw that the users where not equal, the Pre-windows 2000 was like “t.test_test” and the UPN was like t.test.
So I made them both t.test_test, and tried to reset the password again. Now I was able to change the password like it should be.
