Oracle VM Manager: OVMAPI_6000E Internal Error: Connection Refused

Quick Update

This is just a quick post to share my first 3.1.1 Oracle VM Manager (OVMM) troubleshooting experience. After the initial installation, I rebooted the server, tried to access OVMM https://ovmmhost:7002/ovm/console, and received the following error in a browser screen:

Unexpected error during login (com.oracle.ovm.mgr.api.exception.FailedOperationException: OVMAPI_6000E Internal Error: Connection refused Connection refused[[ < date > ), please consult logs for details. OVMAPI_6000E Internal Error: Connection refused Connection refused

Error Message

If you see that error and try looking for a solution on Google, then unfortunately for you it is a very generic error message (a.k.a. ORA-600 in Oracle VM world ;) ) and you will need to dig a bit to find out what exactly is wrong in your case. For me, the system time had been changed for a reason or another, and OVMM refused to accept it. How did I find it? The answer is as follows.
