So recently I came across an error in the vSphere windows “fat client” when trying to use the search field. So a quick look at the VMware knowledge base brought up the following article http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2063020 So I went ahead and followed the KB artricle and then tried to search again.. the following error was generated. Also while logging into the vSphere web client the following error appears. I had access to the SSO components etc.
