Please note that the vSphere Web Server and the vCenter Server and SSO all were setup on the same server.
After initial installation access the vSphere Web Client administration tool by browsing to https://localhost:9443/admin-app/
This will take you to the following screen. Click on register vCenter Server.
This took me to the following screen.
After filling in the details click the register button.
It gives the following error as in the screen shot below.
After browsing through the net, I came across the community thread http://communities.vmware.com/thread/343085?start=0&tstart=0
According to one of the answers, I managed to overcome the major issue of getting it working.
I managed to get to the webclient using the url https://<vcenter server IP>:9443/vsphere-client/
login as the admin@system-domain. This is the account when you setup the Single Sign-On when installing the vCenter server for the first time.
Click on Administration
On the next screen select SSO Users and Groups
Click on Groups tab and select _Administrators_
Click on the blue man icon "Add Principals"
From the drop down select the vCenter server.
Select the local accounts you setup on vCenter server and click add.
After adding click ok and logout from the current session and then login as the local account on the vCenter Server. Then you will notice that the vCenter server has been registered and can work on your newly setup vSphere Web client.
