I now have the following error from the log. If I can get this resolved, I think everything else will work.
7/8/2013 13:29:13.000: 0x0f4358b8: Connect::_BeginSessionInvoked: calling method "Connect::BeginSession(string Owner, structure EncryptedString password) class Session"

We do not have SSO. I have administrators rights, my password is 14 characters long, I can use this userid to do everything else in vmware, (create servers, change settings etc...)
