vcenter 5.5 sso works with web client but not vsphere client

[Skidz]

Hello,

Just upgraded my vcenter from 5.0 to 5.5. In 5.0, I could log in to the vSphere client using my windows session creds, but now I can't and have to use either the administrator@vspher.local or local account that is a member of the local machine admins group. However, it works fine with the web client.

The Identity Source seems to be correctly defined. Have been searching for a solution for four days now. I'm at my wits end... 😞

Just to correct something I said previously:

I stated that I could log in using Windows creds in the web client. However, I realized afterwards that I have access to nothing once I'm logged in. I see no vCenter servers, no hosts or vm. Nada...

I've gone through the permissions section in Administration and made sure my domain admins and my local admins groups were members of both the users and administrators groups.

Somebody ?
