Greetings,
I'm trying out the new PowerCLI 6.5 release and have so far had 0 luck getting it to even try and connect to our vCenter 6.0u2 environment.
The only information I've been able to gather so far is the following error message:
VERBOSE: Attempting to connect using SSPI
VERBOSE: Could not establish secure channel for SSL/TLS with authority 'vcenter.domain.com'.
VERBOSE: Connect using SSPI was unsuccessful
VERBOSE: Could not establish secure channel for SSL/TLS with authority 'vcenter.domain.com'.
Even after passing the vCenter Administrator username and pasword in domain/username format, I'm left with the error message:
VERBOSE: Could not establish secure channel for SSL/TLS with authority 'vcenter.domain.com'.
The vCenter server has a cert signed by our Root CA that is trusted, and I've also gone so far as to import the vCenter cert manually and trusted it, but have had no further luck.
I am aware of the known issue mentioned in the 6.5R1 release notes regarding vCenter not being able to authenticate using Kerberos (VMware PowerCLI Release Notes), however that doesn't appear to be the issue here since I'm using the local administrator account.
I've seen 0 information on Google regarding this issue, and IRC has been of 0 help.
What's going on here!??!
