vCenter 5.1 and AD authentication issues

Hello,

 

A little bit of intro:

 

1. VC5.1, SSO, Inventory and Web Client installed on a single VM (clean installation).

2. MS SQL is installed as a separate VM

3. During installation of SSO an AD connector was successfully created

4. During VC installation "DOMAIN\VM Admins" group was assigned as a "admin" group.

5. "DOMAIN\VM Admins" group is listed as assigned "Administrator" privileges for "This object and its children" in VCenter -> Host & Clusters > Manage

> Permissions.

6. AD account which is a part of "DOMAIN\VM Admins" can successfully login to Web client and to GUI client

 

2 problem scenarios:

1. a) create a simple user,

    b) add it to "DOMAIN\VM Admins"

     => user CAN login to web client ONCE. After logout any consecutive tries give "Provided credentials are not valid." error

 

2. a) create a simple user

    b) add it as "Administrator" on the same level as "DOMAIN\VM Admins" group is assigned to.

    => Any login attempt gives "Provided credentials are not valid." error

 

Looks like SSO/Inventory service issue, but fiddling with SSO access administration (adding users to LSAdministrators, __Administrators__ etc groups) doesn't seem to provide any relief.

 

Any help/suggestion is appreciated.
