Good day, and I hope yours is better than mine...
Just downloaded and set up VCSA 6.0 U2. Finally got it to join my domain*. Added admin group from domain and gave them permissions. Every time I tried to use NT authentication (the checkbox) it would error out.
I found and followed articles 2020970 and 21112283. Now I am unable to log into the web client nor the vSphere client.
web client yeilds this
A server error occurred.
[500] SSO error: Cannot connect to the VMware Component Manager https://vcenter.sso.unitedpolicefcu.com/cm/sdk?hostid=827ac00b-1131-452e-b9fa-6b69a3a3f7ef
Check the vSphere Web Client server logs for details.
vsphere client says
Windows session credentials cannot be used to log into this server (which is what started the 2 KBs above)
or
Cannot complete login due to incorrect user name or password (I tried SSO Admin, domain user, appliance root user)
I have tried the certificate replacement steps (option 8, then 8, then 3, then 4, then 8 again). Each ends with errors similar to this:

Thanks for the help from Stumped in Miami.
* And for those of you getting Error 11 on trying to join the domain go into the SCVA web portal, drill down to the actual network settings and switch the DNS to manual. Sorry I can't be specific on the actual path to this setting. Although I gave it specific DNS at set up and a static IP I finally found that it had reverted to getting DNS from DHCP... Hope this helps.
