I am trying to establish a VCenter as an External Provider.  The when I try to "Test" the connection, the ovirt error message says that I have "failed to communicate".

The Vcenter logs clearly shows the logging in and logging out of the ovirt administrator to the vCenter instance.

And the final error message says:

Failed to retrieve VMs information from external server vpx://vcenter.mcsaipan.net/MCS1/vmware.mcsaipan.net?no_verify=1

Uncaught exception occurred. Please try reloading the page. Details: Exception caught: Exception caught: (TypeError) __gwt$exception: <skipped>: Cannot read property 'f' of null
Please have your administrator check the UI logs

This guy pops up when I try to connect.

Anyway just looking for a clue. Any suggestions are welcome.

Please check [1] to try and debug the ui exception.
Please also check/share engine logs in /var/log/ovirt-engine.

Thanks.
