Netbackup 8.1 java console exit status 526: bpjava authentication service connection failed
I have a new installation of NetBackup 8.1 on a rhel 7 server (VM). Trying to connect with the Java Console from my PC and I'm getting a 526: bpjava authentication service connection failed error. The Network guys/gals are seeing the traffic from my pc to the master server over port 1556 completing and nothing is being blocked. I tried with my login and with root and both had the same result. I have myself with full permissions in the auth.conf file.
Any ideas? I have a case open with Veritas tech support, just wondering if anybody out here can throw in their two cents while I wait.
pbx is running:

The issue has been fixed. Turned out there was a firewall running on the RHEL 7 server that the admin didn't know about.
From the Linux admin:
"FYI, I discovered a ‘firewalld.service’ running on the server (which apparently was included in the RHEL 7 DVD installation). When I stopped and disabled the service, GUI console connection worked."
