Your dns and ping responses look fine.

Can you provide a screenshot of the browser window showing the url used and the error response?

I don't see anything obvious. However, please verify that forward, and reverse lookup works from the vCSA's command line.

Does the command host 10.10.10.42 resolve the IP address to the vCSA's host name?

Once again, please verify that forward, and reverse DNS lookup works.
I provided a command in my previous post, but you ran another one!?

Hi Bekaroo,

Could you please post the sso logs here? You may find the SSO logs in here.  /var/log/VMware 

And also send the screen shot of error are you getting when connecting through webclient.

I hope you have tried different browser and clearing the cache as well. 

 

Thank you.
