during the vCenter 5.5 installation I defined a domain group for SSO administration rather than the default administrator@vsphere.lcoal, can't remember the exact details of the screen and its options, but it asked me to associate a user \ group with SSO and then there is a check box that allows you to check "this is a group" which I checked..
After completing installation, as I expected, I could log right into vCenter using the web client with a domain account, yes, the option seems to have worked, because other installations I performed sticking with the default administrator@vsphere .local in the field I could only log on with this account.
Here is the problem, although I can use my domain account to log in with the web client, it doesn't work with the standard c# client...
Can someone please explain what this is about?? This really seems buggy to me...
I checked that the domain is an identity source, and it is, if not I don't see how I could have logged into vcenter via web client with out this.... yet I can't log in using the standard client
thanks in advance for helping get this ironed out.
