Hi Iam - I'm on an eval so I can't submit as a normal support request. From VMware Support: "If you do not have an active support agreement and you want to alert us to a product defect, please post the issue to the appropriate product community".
Could I impose on you to report this if you agree with me that it is a bug? Or should we just leave it here in the community forum? Certainly this is not a showstopper...I am working now and my vAppDir is working, vApps are running, blueprints are deploying, etc.
The sinister thing: my initial vCloud Director screenshots show that I had always configured "Kerberos" from the beginning. Also I had been using UPN to login. At some point after applying vCD updates that stopped working but when I switched to "Simple" everything worked (I could login).
However, that statement above is not something I can back up without quite a bit of work: I'd have to install a new vCD using my initial screenshots and the RTM build I had, then follow the processing so I could *prove* that applying the vCD update actually broke something instead of it being just a PEBKAC. (Even to me - the above certainly sounds like a user error!)
I'm looking to you for guidance...thanks so much for your time!
