ucs-c220-m3 with 1.4(6c)
I am trying to add a UCS to a monitoring tool,.
created a local account with read only access
configured the same credentials on the monitoring tool
the protocol, port and Timeout interval are same
getting an error saying that adding device failed
the monitoring tool vendor suggested to check if remote authentication configured
please advice

That is a really old firmware version
https://software.cisco.com/download/home/284296253/type/283850974/release/3.0(4r)
There are a limited number of ways to actually login to the CIMCs.
Is the monitoring tool trying to SSH, use SNMP, IPMI, etc??
I would try ssh'ing into the cimc with the read-only username and password to confirm you can 'remotely' login.

The older versions of the CIMC had some memleak/OOM issues.
If you can ssh, but can't hit https, then you may need to do a power drain on the server in order to reset/reboot the CIMC itself.
You can also attempt to reboot via your ssh connection (as admin):
scope cimc
reboot

Also, the web interface for the M3s is probably going to require flash, so make sure your browser is set to allow for flash for the IP
