I'm trying to install a test lab at home with VMWare VSphere 5.1 but it seems riddled with problems and constant workarounds compared to v5.0
I'm currently trying to register a vcenter server using the vsphere web client administration tool but keep getting the following error.
There doesn't seem to be a consistent workaround, it seems someone else got it to work by doing this but it didn't work for me.
Has anyone else seen and resolved this issue ?

My assumptions were correct... kinda. Steps to get this to work:
Log in to vSphere web client as admin (admin@System-Domain, this is the default user added during install of vcenter)
Go to Administration -> SSO Users and Groups
Go to Groups tab and click on __Administrators__
Click on the little man icon to Add Princilpals
Select the local vcenter server as the identity source and search for a local user you can log in as.
Then add that user and click OK.
Log in as the local user.
You should see the vCenter listed after you log in.
