    VMware View Composer unable to connect to vCenter

    I have an oddball here. When I am trying to configure View Composer on Vista Manager I get the error (403) Forbidden. I have checked event log security audits vCenter Server and there are errors with the following:

    Code:
    An account failed to log on.
    Subject:
        Security ID:        SYSTEM
        Account Name:        VCENTER$
        Account Domain:        mydomain
        Logon ID:        0x3e7
    Logon Type:            8
    Account For Which Logon Failed:
        Security ID:        NULL SID
        Account Name:        Administrator
        Account Domain:        
    Failure Information:
        Failure Reason:        Unknown user name or bad password.
        Status:            0xc000006d
        Sub Status:        0xc000006a

    Have you tried to start the service composer with a different account?
    In the case of VC:
    Look Composer service.
    Right click and Log on as
    Jump to a privileged account equity.

    Composer changed the service to run as domain administrator account. Audit of errors in the security event log now looks like this:

    Code:
    An account failed to log on.
    
    Subject:
        Security ID:        MYDOMAIN\Administrator
        Account Name:        Administrator
        Account Domain:        MYDOMAIN
        Logon ID:        0x18ce6
    
    Logon Type:            8
    
    Account For Which Logon Failed:
        Security ID:        NULL SID
        Account Name:        Administrator
        Account Domain:       
    
    Failure Information:
        Failure Reason:        Unknown user name or bad password.
        Status:            0xc000006d
        Sub Status:        0xc000006a

    You should not use administrator accounts on this Log on as a service. Create VM specific service accounts for use in the DBs and registration of the accounts in the measure.

    Try using a Composer database service account has rights to the database composer and VC / Vista and use the registry of the measure.

    If I remember correctly the account you used to link vCenter and the view must be a local administrator vCenter Server. is that not the case in this situation and if you can add as a test?

    I would also like to mention that I have different environment (VC 4.1, View 4.5, Composer 2.5), which is working very well, Composer service runs as local system account.

    In my composer I have my configuration settings (domain name). Com, My Account and password services.

    Can you try using the admin account View and ensure that specific that is an administrator (NECC no. Only the local administrator) on the machine?
