This is brand new VCA not an upgrade. I've not added any VM's to it yet. I cannot log in to the VC with my Windows credentials from the vSphere client. I get an error "A general system error occurred: Authorize Exception"
I looked at this entry:
http://communities.vmware.com/message/2121416#2121416
And this KB entry:
- I have added AD via the appliance's web interface and that worked and shows up.
- I have named the VCA and used a FQDN, it is in DNS and responds by ping and also a reverse lookup
- I can login via the vSphere webclient just fine with the root account
- The ESXi host is running NTP (from the DC) and everybody is reading the correct time - host and VCA
- I have tried removing the VCA from the domain, readding and rebooting - no go.
- I have tried removing the VCA from the domain and adding via the CLI and it works, the status looks "good" but no go
- in the vSphere client, Permissions Tab, Add, Add -- there is nothing in the DOMAIN pulldown except (server) and SYSTEM-DOMAIN
Nothing seems to work.
One really strange thing -- in the webclient, I've repeatedly entered the FQDN of the VCA but everytime you reboot it goes back to just the hostname. In the /etc/hosts file it shows the FQDN.
Can someone help me figure this out?
