Can't access vCenter Appliance 6.7 from either http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:5480 or from the direct console.

I am testing the deployment of the VCSA 6.7 on a PC with VMware Workstation 14.

I followed these instructions...

http://www.vmwarearena.com/how-to-deploy-vcenter-server-appliance-6-5-on-vmware-workstation-14/

Yes, the above is for an older version but it got me through all of it.

Options were for Tiny with embedded platform services.

the file I am using is: VMware-vCenter-Server-Appliance-6.7.0.14000-9451876_OVF10.ova

I was able to deploy the appliance and input all the parameters when deploying. The VM comes up and I browse to the URL http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:5480/  and the links to "Setup" or "Upgrade" or "Migrate" or "Restore" are available.

But when I click on "Setup" and try to log in to the appliance to configure I get "Unable to authenticate".

When at the console/DCUI I get the message "Invalid login or password".

I have deployed using all necessary info IP, domain, passwords and I get that message. I have done this 3 times already.

I have also deployed not putting in any info and I still get that message. I did that 3 times also.

I also tried using a 10 then a 15char complex password but I still get the middle finger.

I have tried Chrome and IE and both give me the middle finger.

Any ideas??

Thanks
