Unable to connect to vCD with PowerCLI

[vmSpecDaniel]

Hi, can you help me with troubleshooting problem with connecting to vCD using PowerCLI.

When I'm connecting using my System Administrator account

Connect-CIServer vcdCell01 -User 'user' -Password 'pass'

I'm getting:

Connect-CIServer : 11/30/2015 12:19:21 AM    Connect-CIServer        The

server returned 'Unauthorized' with the status code 401 - Unauthorized.

At line:1 char:1

+ Connect-CIServer vcdCell01 -User 'user' -Password 'pass'

+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Connect-CIServer], CIException

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Cloud_ConnectivityServiceImpl_ConnectCloudServer

   _ConnectError,VMware.VimAutomation.Cloud.Commands.Cmdlets.ConnectCIServer

I can connect to Web UI using same System Administrator account.

The only way I can connect with PowerCLI is when I create local account in one of organizations and add -Org to command

Connect-CIServer vcdCell01 -User 'localuser' -Password 'localpass' -Org 'org'

Please help.

I used some Python stuff to connect to vCD. To connect as System Administrator I had to use "Administrator@System" as the user.

Maybe it will work for you if you use "-Org System"?

Thanks, It worked.
