Did you already configure SSO Identity sources and permissions using the Web Client? To do this login to the Web Client using the administrator@vsphere.local account.

See if vcenter service is running. If it's running then follow André's suggestion.

Adding the AD domain to the Identity sources is step one. Did you also do step two, setting permissions for the AD users/groups on the vCenter Server object?
