vCloud Director Extender getting "Error Code 401 Error in creating VC connection with login scheme : SAML and for user :"

    Trying to add an on-premise 5.5 update 3b vCenter in vCloud Director Extender 1.1.0.3 and getting "Error Code 401 Error in creating VC connection with login scheme : SAML and for user :"  with every account I've tried.  The accounts are valid and they work on every 6.5 vCenter I have but all the 5.5 U3 ones give me this error when I try to add them to the on-prem vCDE appliance.  I have vCDE running and have migrated a VM successfully but only from a 6.5 vCenter.  Anyone have any ideas on this error with 5.5 U3 vCenters?  The matrix says it's supported from 5.5 U3 and newer.  The 5.5 hosts are all U3 as well.  Some U3 and some U3f.

    I tried this fix - but it still doesn't work... :  vCloud Extender + vCenter Server 6.5(win) +PSC(отдельный)

      Has no-one else had this issue ?

    At the moment I am dead in the water.

    I think I have fixed it...

    There are 2 files on the appliance,   so SSH onto it and then find them ....

              /opt/vmware/mobility-service/conf/mgrconfig.yaml

              /opt/vmware/mobility-service/conf/connconfig.yaml

    Within these files change entry in the files to the below

    enableVcSsoAuthentication: false

      Then restart the service :  /etc/init.d/mobility-service restart

    This worked a treat for me.
