4 November 2013 by Simon Seagrave Leave a Comment

VMware vCenter Server Update 5.5.0a SSO Bug FixesVMware have released an update to the vCenter Server 5.5 product.  This new release is numbered  5.5.0a and addresses a number of vCenter released bug fixes, predominantly around the area of vCenter SSO (Single Sign-On). Based on the bug fixes found in this release I’d definitely recommend you take a look, download, test and update your environment if you think any of these issues are, or may, impact you.

Below is a summary of the fixes that can be found in VMware vCenter Server 5.5.0a, and a copy of the release notes, containing more information, can be found on VMware’s site here.
