Can't login to Web Client - Failed to connect to VMWare Lookup Service

When I try to login to the Web Client with the root login, I get the attached error.  I'm not quite sure how to fix this.  Any ideas?

Also, when I try to install the Client Integration Plugin so I can use Windows session authentication, it appears to install but is still grayed out in IE 11 (if the browser makes a difference).

Thanks,
Greg

Did you make any changes on vCenter Server's IP or hostname?

You might need to regenerate the certificate for vCenter Server after IP/hostname change.
