How is the web client vCenter/SSO

In vSphere 5.1, when I type https://myhost.mycompany.com:9443 / vsphere client / in my browser, I immediately get a login screen. When I enter my credentials, all work great. I guess that in this example, the backend of the web client is listening on port 9443.

-Customer web backend expects SSO to always be running on the same host as himself. I mean, it is possible to have a scenario where the backend of the web client is running on a different host than vCenter or SSO.

-If at the time of installation, we have configured the SSO to listen to one port other than the default, do I have to configure the client web backend as well, or is it also get reconfigured.

Thank you.

Yes, you can install SSO separately from other components of vCenter: see http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-51/topic/com.vmware.vsphere.install.doc/GUID-595E62F1-4D32-4A09-81F4-BE59B9217A51.html

When you separate facilities you must install first SSO. When you subsequently install the WebClient service you must point to the SSO service by providing the URL of the SSO service. SSO listening on the 7444 default https port. If you have configured it differently (I don't know if this is possible) then you just need to change the port number in the URL of SSO.

The WebClient service is listening on port 9443 default. See http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-51/topic/com.vmware.vsphere.install.doc/GUID-74AA3EF1-BDF3-4752-89DB-A522CDE30A66_copy.html

  • VCenter 5.5 new install - VCenter not no projection in the Web Client

    Hello

    Today, I installed a new simple installation of 5.5 VCenter Server with all the parts.  I can access the web client very well and it will also authenticate with SSO (even if I don't allow my username anywhere, maybe I'm a domain administrator it allows this?).  Anyway I digress, when registering in the web client VCenter County shows 0 and I am obviously unable to perform all tasks at all.

    Of course, my link between the VCenter server and Webclient went wrong somewhere and I am struggling to see how to solve this problem.  From my research in 5.5 that it should automatically just connect and you don't need to 'register' that we had to do with older versions.

    Any help appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hello

    As described in this KB KB VMware: vSphere installation 5.5 Web Client on a Microsoft Windows platform

    Among the vSphere post installation steps Web Client adds SSO identity Source

    Log in to the Web Client vSphere and authenticate using the [email protected] domain to check that the SSO and vSphere Client Web work correctly.

    You can also add an external identity source, such as Open LDAP and Active Directory before deploying the server vCenter Server and inventory Services.

    For more information on the different types of Sources of identity for vSphere 5.5, see him add a vCenter Single Sign-On identity Source section of the Guide of installation and Installation of vSphere.


    You connect by using the domain ([email protected]) account?

    Have you tried to connect with username [email protected]?

    According to the guidelines of vSphere vSphere 5.5 Documentation Center Documentation

    When an identity source is added, all users can be authenticated but have access no. authorization.

    If you open a session by using the domain account (domain administrators) you might be able to connect, but cannot perform all the tasks that the user is to have access permissions.

    Then you can try to login with the username [email protected] first, then assign permission to your domain account.

    The steps to add the UNIQUE identity Source Authentication (if the ad has not been added) and assign permissions (for the domain account) are described in vSphere Documentation here:

  • Just improved 5.0 to 6.0u2 vcenter.  How do eliminate you the web client certificate error?

    We were a vSphere 5.0 shop for many years and enjoyed the client c# 4.0, 4.1 and 5.0 then days.  We just upgraded 6.0 Update 2 this week and although always, we are primarally used to the c# client and will use it for a while to come, I am getting used to the web client for the new features that are available only in it, such as SRM and VR.

    I was able to click through the numours of screens of reminder to get via Firefox after all these certificate warnings and even easier just click the one or two things in Chrome or IE to get in.  But how could eliminate total certificate errors?  Example, now I'm with Chrome, but the https:// in the address bar is red with a slash through it.

    In most all other device based on web or connection we have, as HP iLO, Dell iDrac etc... usually, we create a CSR on this device and it present our internal Windows certificate authority and recover a file to go back to the device.  Is it possible to do this with the web client?  We have a certificate of 'Server Web 2' model that generates the sha256 return certificate and inherently all field devices to trust him because the area is important our root certificate authority.

    Also, we are running services such as replication vSphere and SRM, I would not change certificate affects only or same vSphere Update Manager.  We have two sites HQ and DR.

    I ended up getting rid of the cert errors by following this page: 6 replacement vSphere SSL certificate / implementation by using the Certificate Manager-automation tool

    I followed the procedures for "Certificate of Machine (Reverse HTTP Proxy) replace with certificate custom" and just that.  I didin 't' t mess with root VMCA with custom signature certificate certificate because its seems to me like he wanted to do an endless number of the signature of the certificate request and keys.  But the first option considered for our internal Windows CA took care of her.

    For replication of vSphere 6.1.1 that I had to turn off the virtual devices from replication via customer web vSphere vSphere and then put them back on.  Then connect to their URL of web management (port 5490) and make the reconnection to the vsphere on the connection tab, where he was invited to accept the new certificate.

    For AUVS I had to run the VMwareUpdateManagerUtility.exe under C:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\Infrastructure\Update Manager and to the third option of re - register to vCenter, and then restart the service.

    Surprisingly, SRM sites remained paired although I've read that some people have trouble with it.  I'm on 6.0 update 2 and I think one of the questions was fixed in 6.0 Update 1 b.

  • vSphere SSL for the Web Client (device vCenter) certificate error

    Hello

    I installed ESXi 5.5 and right once I deployed the device vCenter. After the configuration and a few reboots, I navigates to the web client, and I get this error when I try to logon:

    "Based on the current configuration, the authentication server's SSL certificate was not reliable."

    I have until this google everything on the subject and outside tutorials on how to change certificates in the Windows version of vCenter, nothing on the device of vCenter. I was happy when I found the 'Certificate regeneration enabled' checkbox, but that did not help either. I can test successfully SSO settings in the control panel of vCenter.

    Everyone please?


    Edit: I should also mention that I am not able to connect to vCenter with the vSphere client. I get the "Cannot complete the connection by incorrect username or password". I use [email protected] as user name.

  • Why can't I see hosts/guests in my vCenter while I can see them in the Web Client vSphere?

    Hello

    IM new to VmWare\PowerCLI.  The goal is to get a list of VM guests in a vCenter via PowerCLI.  I can see 80 guests when I connect via the Web Client vSphere, but when I use the PowerCLI cmdlets, a Get-VMHost returns nothing.  I did the following:

    1 connect-VIServer the username-password IluvVmWare myserver.acme.com-acme\BigDog connects fine without error.

    2. $defaultviserver | Select * shows me the default connection properties.

    3 get-data center shows me 2 data centers; DC1 and DC2

    4 get-DataCenter DC1. Get-VMHost returns nothing

    5 get-VMHost returns nothing

    6 get-vmhost-Server myserver.acme.com returns nothing

    What I do wrong with PowerCLI so I can't get a dump of the hosts on the vCenter?  I can see them all in the vSphere Web Client, so permissions seem fine.

    It looks like that there.

    You must speak with the vCenter admin I guess.

    More simple would you give permissions to view read-only on the vCenter and let this authorization to spread.

    Out of curiosity, this shows the VMHostname?

    Get - VM | Select Name,@{N='VMHost'; E={$_. VMHost.Name}}

    > It seems that the interface user refresh only when you click the global refresh button or user performs an operation.

    That's right, the Web client is not ask vCenter constantly because it does not intensify and puts too much load on vCenter.  You must launch the operation on the Web Client or the global refresh button-click.

  • inventory of missing vCenter using the web client?

    I just upgraded my environment to 5.1 and for some reason, one of my vCenter servers shows no inventory by using the web client. I double checked the permissions on both sites and have checked the inventory in the vSphere client and everything seems good. I have two related modes and the other shows, everything is fine. I tried repointing and re-application as in accordance with article (KB VMware: repointing and re-application VMware vCenter Server 5.1.x and components) but all exits show as being already recorded. Any ideas?

  • VRO v6.01 installation but not displayed in the web client

    I'm having trouble with a clean install, not appearing is not in the Web Client, and I hope someone here can help you.

    I built my house with vSphere Lab 6 now it's GA, and after sunrise vCenter and run, I thought I'd have a look at the latest and Orchestrator (v6.0.1). I have deployed the OVF very well (I used the GUI client such as web client and their tools of 'integration' are all except) and entered the web configuration portal. I finished the tab "vSphere infrastructure" (SSL, authentication SSO, licensing, registration vCenter) who has successfully completed (according to the display messages).

    However, when I go into the tab Orchestrator WebClient service where no server is listed and no workflow is available. I checked the plugin vCenter client is enabled (under Administration > Solutions > Client Plug-ins) and I also tried to register through the client GUI Orchestrator and 'Add a vCenter Server' and 'Save a vCenter Server' workflows running both successfully completed. Still no luck.

    Any ideas how I can get registered with vCenter Orchestrator (I use the VCSA) or if I start troubleshooting? Good to check logs files?

    Thank you

    Ed.

    OK, if you see that the "get started page", this means the plugin vRO has not been downloaded and deployed in vSphere Web Client.

    In 6.x, the binary plug-in are hosted on server vRO and vSphere Client Web downloads and deploys it. How the plugin site is discovered is the URL extension of the VC.

    The first thing to check if if the URL is valid and the plug-in can be downloaded from it. Open the managed object browser, and then clicks ExtensionManager -> "com.vmware.vco" extension-> client -> url. Its value must be something like https://vcoip:8281/vco/vsphere-web-client/vco-plugin.zip. Open this URL in a browser and verify that the downloaded ZIP file.

    If the ZIP file can be downloaded without problem, check the file of newspaper Web Client vSphere (vsphere_client_virgo.log) traces associated with failed to download plugin (you can find the name of the vco-pluginfile).

    If there is nothing associated with vco-plugin in the papers then maybe vSphere Web Client not attempted to download it. I think he's looking for plug-ins at startup, then you can try to restart the Web Client vSphere (in the device, it is named vsphere client , so you can restart it with the command "restart service - vsphere client").

    In addition, you can try to connect to Web Client vSphere with the admin user, then go to Administration -> plugins customerand click on the search of new plug-ins link.
