Hi all,
I am using vCenter server 5.5 on a Windows host. Hence, I had to install SSO, the inventory service, all the tools etc. also in the same host. When I login to the web client (also on the same host), under "vCenters" I do not see my vCenter. Why not?
After some searches I thought it had to do with my inventory service.
If I go to http://localhost:7444/lookupservice/sdk I get InvalidRequest which doesn't look promising.

I thought maybe I could re-register via command line so I tried the following, which isn't getting me anywhere either.
C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\Inventory Service\scripts>register-sso.ba

Does anyone have some ideas what's wrong here so I can get my vCenter registered in my web client?
Thanks!
