vSphere 5.5 w/ vCenter 5.5 permission to log in denied
Hey guys. Just deployed a new vCenter Server 5.5 VM and it went extremely smooth. I can log into the Web Client with the credentials configured during installation but cannot log into the vCenter Server over vSphere from any workstation or locally. It says "The vSphere client could not connect to "x.x.x.x". You do not have permission to login to the server: x.x.x.x
I did install Single Sign-on ... basically just ran the Simple Install through to completion and it was 100% successful. It's on a Windows Server 2008 R2 vm
One error or alert I get is related to IIS and port 80. This was a brand new 2008 server. No Roles configured and only Feature was .NET 3.5.

Log into the Web Client as admin@system-domain. Single sign on.
Go to Administration > Sign-On and Discovery > Configuration.
Under Identity Sources, verify that your domain is listed

I don't believe I've manually configured any credentials aside from the Single Sign-on addon. I looked in Administration > Sign-On and Discovery and there was no Sign-On and Discovery listed. Not a lot listed in fact anywhere. I assume that's because I haven't added any hosts yet but I don't see any place to change any settings at all.

When I try to 'Use Windows Session Authentication' in the Web Client I get this ::
The authentication server returned an unexpected error: ns0:RequestFailed: No such provider in tenant [vsphere.local] for domain [XXX.local]. The error may be caused by a malfunctioning identity source.
I can logon, however with the administrator:pass I set when I was configuring vCenter but the web console is empty other than menu content.

I have nothing under Administration. That's the problem. Found that article and one other that kinda paralleled what my error is but mine has nothing about any SAML tokens.
Regardless I have nothing to select under Administration.

And what about user : admin@system-domain ( this is default admin user for SSO)
ASKER
What would I use for credentials for admin@system-domain? The domain is ACI.local.
The default Single Sign-On administrator is admin@System-Domain with the password you specified at installation
user name is "admin@system-domain"
password is which you have enter while installing SSO
user name is "admin@system-domain"
password is which you have enter while installing SSO
ASKER
That's what I thought. I've tried logging in with those credentials but they do not work. The password I'm entering is definitely the right one as I used the same one for everything on this particular vm.
Should I reinstall SSO?

Well I attempted to log into Web Client with administrator@vsphere.loca
Based on the current configuration, the SSL certificate of the authentication server was not trusted.
I assume I need to do this http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1021514

I ended up spinning up a new VM with Windows 2008 R2 and logged in using administrator@vsphere.loca
Could never resolve the credential issue.
