Session Per user with vCO PowerShell Plugin 1.04 and SSO Authentication

Has anyone managed to get this working?

Everything is fine when using Shared creds/Kerberos. However when I try and add a PS host using "Session per user" I get the following error:

"com.vmware.vim.sso.client.impl.SamlTokenImpl cannot be cast to [C (Dynamic Script Module name : addPowerShellHost#16)"

I'm guessing this is because the PS plugin doesn't understand the SSO token being sent to it.

Thanks in advance!

Powershell plugin can not be used in "Session per user" mode when vCO is configured in SSO mode.

Simple reason for that is that SSO tokens generated by Vmware  SSO  are not compatible and not accepted by Windows authentication.

When you try to connect to Windows WinRM  it is required that you authenticate and presenting token generated by VMWare SSO server wan't work.

The documentation of the plugin was recently updated to incorporate this notes.
