Cannot logon to vCenter appliance with windows credentials

A new vcenter appliance is accessible using VMware credentials but we cannot logon using the "use Windows session credentials" option.  the option to enable Active Directory is checked and the domain is entered.  there is an existing vcenter appliance that does not have any logon issues and the new appliance was compared to that one.  We cannot find any differences.  If I try to add a permission in VMware I do not see the domain to allow me to add a group domain or user so I'm assuming it is not in synch with the domain.  Where should I begin looking for the problem?

Did you add the Domain as an Authentication Source to SSO ?

otherwise you will just be able to login with the SSO credentials, until you assign permissions and group to AD (Domain).

Is that the same as what is added here?

That worked!  I added the domain as an identity source in the web client then added the group that needs access.  Thank you for your help!

Again!
