vCenter 5.1 Appliance SSO - password

193 Views Asked by At

After installing vCenter 5.1 appliance on a virtual machine (run by ESXi), it automatically set embedded SSO credentials. While the administrator user-name is always admin@System-Domain and the password is unknown.

How can I know the SSO administrator password?

VMware KB claims the SSO admin password is the user admin password of the machine - "vmware", although it does not work when I try to install vSphere web client; it fails to connect vCenter using SSO.

Did you encounter this issue?
