When attempting to test a configuration or attempt to use the configuration to our vsphere 6.0.0 server we get the stack trace listed below. Tried to disable the reverse proxy but it didn't help. The same system is able to connect to a vsphere 5.5 server without issue. In addition, other jenkins servers I've had setup on debian, through docker, and centos 6.8 and 7.0 have been able to connect to the server without issue, so it doesn't appear to be a permissions issue. I've including a printout of all installed plugins on this system.

javax.servlet.ServletException: java.lang.RuntimeException: org.jenkinsci.plugins.vsphere.tools.VSphereException: com.vmware.vim25.NoPermission: Permission to perform this operation was denied.
