Is there something wrong?

Did you use custom certificates? If so, check whether they were replaced correctly

Are you on 5.1?

What do you see if you go to this :7444/ims/STSService ?

[tdubb123]

Yes I on 5.1 I see this

Then the answer to your first question - No there is nothing wrong.

AFAIK the SSO service is online and listening on 7443, which is good. Since we were able to get a response, we also know that there is nothing blocking communication on 7443 between the vCenter and SSO server.

what about this?

https://vc:8443/cim-ui/

I got an error saying cannot access the hardware monitoring service

any idea?

My vSphere Web Client is working fine, my URL https://localhost:7444/lookupservice/sdk returns same xml as your case.

So I think that's normal, you had already installed vCenter Single Sign-On server succefully.

If you faced this during web client installation dialog, I afraid you just gave wrong set of ID and password, suggest you to check password of Administrator@vSphere.local first.

How about vCenter Server?

vCenter Server can be installed without web client installation.

You can check vCenter Server login with Administrator@vSphere.local to check valid password.
