Registering CMS with Virtual Center

[Frank Aldridge]

I have tried to register my SIM Interface with Virtual Center via the Options | Vitualization Management | Security | Register with Virtual Center - I have added the SIM Service Account as a user in Virtual Center and used the same account and http://VCenterhost:8443 but keep getting an error indicating that the credentials are invalid.

Any Ideas what I am doing wrong?

Did you run the test of vcenter webservice as described in the manual, local and remote?

In my case registration worked without the DocRoot addition.

This is what I get when I run the test of the VCenter Web Service with and without /docroot

This happened for me too when upgrading vcenter to 1.3.1 - running the setup again solved it.

Well, thinking about it I got another error, not service unavailable - access denied or authentication error i believe it was.

I have solved the problem. My VCenter service account had insufficient permissions. By adding it to the domain admins group I got the problem solved.

Thanks for the help.

If you mean the account configured in setup it should be sufficient as member of the local administrators group.

It was only a domain user, I made it a member of domain admins first and then worked back from there.

Thanks
