VSphere Connection Exception

I am trying to register a VMWare server for the first time in DPA.  Any thoughts on this error ?

An error occurred connecting to the vSphere server on [VCenter01] for user [DPA]: java.rmi.RemoteException: VI SDK invoke exception [soapMessage=<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"><soapenv:Body><RetrieveServiceContent xmlns="urn:vim25"><_this type="ServiceInstance">ServiceInstance</_this></RetrieveServiceContent></soapenv:Body></soapenv:Envelope>]: org.dom4j.DocumentException: Error on line 31 of document http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd : The declaration for the entity "HTML.Version" must end with '>'.
