Hi,
This morning I find that I am unable to login to my vCentre 5.5 server via either the vSphere Client or vSphere Web Client, using my AD integrated authentication... I can login using administrator@vsphere.local account...
vCentre was installed on 17th December 2013 and my AD login was working on the 13th February 2014 (58 Days) but not today 17th February 2014 (62 Days)...
I am thinking that there is a '60 day' bug in my vSphere setup...
vSphere Server 5.5.0 - Version Build 1378903
vSphere Client - Version 5.5.0 Build 1281650
vSphere Web Client - Version 5.5.0 Build 1369380
The vSphere Web Client error is "The authentication server returned an unexpected error: ns0:RequestFailed: Failed to establish server connection. The error may be caused by a malfunctioning identity source."
I can confirm that KB2035510 does not apply, as my short NETBIOS domain name is already in the Domain Alias field for my AD identity source
I know that vCenter Server 5.5.0b Build 1476387 is available, but I am reluctant to install/upgrade without knowing if this issue is resolved...
If there is a quick fix (that does not involve upgrading) to this problem I would prefer that rather than rushing blindly into a 5.5.0b upgrade at this point in time...
Any help will be appreciated...
Martin
