Can login via web client but not via vsphere client

[darkol]

Hi,

I've come across a strange problem.

I've configured AD connectivity on vcenter server appliance with no issues. Changed root password through :5480. Changed administrator@vsphere.local through GUI on :9443. Rebooted each time the change was made. Added relevant AD group and set permissions...

I can login with the web client on :9443 using my AD credentials with no problems (i'm in AD group which has admin privileges through SSO).

I can NOT login with the vsphere client using exactly the same credentials 😐 It says the usal "you don't have permissions..."

I am able to login with vsphere client using administrator@vsphere.local 😐

Any ideas?! Completely stuck...

Many thanks

Thank you for your pointer Anjani... it does not apply as such as I've configured SSO with no problems and was using it fine for a while.

This appears to solve the problem:

/opt/likewise/bin/domainjoin-cli join --preview your.domain.com username

...as it seems to clear cache/reset things etc etc

Every time I reboot the appliance I have problems login in. When I do the above, I can login just fine again (time sync with AD?!)...

Many thanks
