vSphere Web client will not show vCenter

Hi,

Not sure if this is the correct forum selection to ask....

I have installed Esxi 5.5 and vCenter og vSphere Web Client 5.5 trial version to do some lab... All has gone ok, but when i start the vSphere Web Client no vCenter server is displayed. I thought this was going to be added automatically, I have logged on with domain administrator and this user have full admin access on the vCenter server. I have done some googling, and it seems that i need to follow the solution below, can some one confirm this ? Is this a known problem ?

Not all administrators do have permissions to manage vCenter Server by default, therefore you need to logon using the administrator@vsphere.local account, add the domain to the "Identity Sources" and configure the required permissions on the vCenter Server object in the inventory.
