• Store data customized for vSphere web client plugin

  Hello

  I'm working on vSphere Web Client plugin development. We need to store custom data on vCenter server that can be configured by the user only once.

  Plugin service will read the data and use it to connect to our server.

  Currently, we create an XML with encrypted data and store it in the folder/usr/local on vCenter.
  What are the best practices for storing these data?

  Thank you
  Vincent

  Small data files can be stored on the same device running the Web Client (VCSA for Linux) or vCenter for Windows

  In order to make your code compatible with the next vSphere 6.0 5.5 plugin you must use the following directories that will retain the write access:

  -/ Import/Storage on Linux

  -System.getenv ("PROGRAMDATA") under Windows.

  Create a subdirectory of the plugin and write your files.  See the code in the samples/global services/Global Services-service/src/main/java/com/vmware/samples/global services/GlobalServiceImpl.java

• vRealize Orchestrator - cannot add to vSphere Web Client

  Hello

  I configured the device vRealize Orchestrator and added the vCenter Server to the server via the customer to vRO Orchestrator--> library and can successfully run workflows against objects in vCenter. Then vRO works.

  BUT

  The problem I have is that I can't seem to add the server vRO to vSphere Web Client. I do not see the plugin if and when I go to the Orchestrator plugin I see the vCenter Server in the "House of vCO' tab but"N/A"under"Managed by vCenter Orchestrator Server"." Under the "Lists" section it says "vCO servers: 0".» What Miss me?

  I tried to add the new server to vRO (device) by changing the vCenter object and enter the server IP new vRO. But "Test connection" fails every time.

  In addition, vCO has been installed with vCenter initially but never used and not yet used. But I don't think it would make a difference.

  I don't see the vCenter plugin tab in the left menu when connecting to vRO with the customer and com.vmware.vco isn't showing in /mob .

  Versions:

  vCenter: 5.5u2

  vRO: 6.0.3.0 build 3000579

  Thank you!

  Hello

  I'm a bit confused. It seems you are trying to use the two vCO 5.5.2 and vRO with VC 5.5.2 6.0.3, but plug-ins are different (they have different deployment mechanism, different extensions in MOB, etc.). I recommend you stick to the version of the vCO you got installed with VC - in this case, 5.5.2.

  Then, check the following:

  • Check that the vCO is configured with the SSO authentication, and it is the same instance used by VC/Web Client SSO
  • Check that this instance of vCenter is added as properly to vCO and there is an extension of 5.5.x - style into the CROWD. His name is com.vmware.orchestrator. [some-guid]
  • Check that the extension of the server property contains a record with URL property pointing to the server fine vCO - https:[vco-ip]:8281
  • Make sure that the user you are using to connect to the Web Client has a permission; for example. You should be able to connect to vCO Client Java with this user

  If the foregoing is valid, check the Web Client (vsphere_client_virgo.log) log file for any errors of loading of the vCO and connection at the vRO server plugin.

• vSphere Web Client 5.5 and Google Chrome

  Is Google Chrome completely broken now for the Web Client? Around Thursday or Friday, it stopped loading on my Chrome installation. Works fine on IE, but I feel dirty using this browser. I know that Google support killing NPAPI (or something like that) and there was a work around for now but not yet that works. If I try to load the Web Client I get a failure just after the VMWARE whitens. VMware is working on a fix, I hope is not support vSphere 6 because Dell is not putting an ESXi Iso approved for the VRTX until the 2nd quarter of 2016.

  If you use Chrome 42, you will need enable support NPAPI.

  Chrome 42 breaks the vSphere Web Client integration Plugin

  Chrome 43 will display the beloved "Aw, Snap!" at the launch of the Web Client vSphere integration Plugin. Try to disable the locking of renderer win32k to work around this problem.

• vSphere Web Client, any who do anything like that?

  I create some specific workflows to be presented for use in the vSphere 6 Web Client. In this workflow, I try to understand how to get the user currently logged in vCenter to fill a requested_by input variable.  the reason for this is all this workflow opens either Incident, the amendment or demand in the CMDB and use this value in the query of the CMDB.  Anyone pulling this info in this way?  FYI, I use an account shared for the vSphere vRO plugin

  Thank you

  Steve

  Steve, by 'user currently connected in vCenter' actually means you the user logged in vSphere Web Client, right?

  When you start a workflow from vRO in vSphere Web Client, he'll call vRO REST API who authenticate with a SAML token that is taken in the name of the current user in vSphere Web Client. VRO side, inside the script code of your workflow, you can use Server.getCurrentLdapUser () script method to retrieve the user associated with the workflow runtime. It returns an object of type LdapUser; for which properties are provided by this object, see vRO API Explorer.

  Help, please.

  What version is your vCenter Server? Anyway Internet Explorer 11 has some compatibility issues with the plugin for integration, see the release notes follow-up note:

  • Integration of client plug-ins can not work as expected if you log the vSphere Web Client using Internet Explorer 11 *.
    If you log the Web Client using Internet Explorer 11 vSphere, the following problems may occur when you perform tasks related to the Client plugin integration:
    Solution: use Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, or earlier versions of Internet Explorer to access the Web Client vSphere. You can also use vSphere Client instead of vSphere Web Client to work around this problem.
  • • Even if the Client integration plugin is installed, the following message appears when you try to import or to export a model from the FVO:

• vSphere Web Client error - an internal error occurred - error #1009.

  I'm running a questions accessing the page plug-ins of the client in the Web Client vSphere. The error is in the subject line and an extract from the journal of the vsphere_client_virgo is below. Here is the scenario in which I believe is the origin of the problem, I don't know how to fix it.

  I had a third-party web client-plugin registered (Manager Cisco Nexus 1000v). and I disabled it. I then went through the steps to cancel the webclient plugin which was to remove the extension from the extensions through the CROWD handler. I deleted the extension to go from the CROWD and remove the files from the client web plugin on the server vCenter successfully, but now I get the above error. I think I'm getting this because the web client tries to find a reference to the disabled extension, either vCenter Server binaries or the extension, I removed from the CROWD. Whatever it is, I have no idea how to move forward. All ideas are welcome!

• vSphere Web Client shows 0 vCenter server

  Hi all.  As a newbie, I am currently playing with vCenter 5.1.  I just vcenter Server 5.1 with all required components (SSO, Web Client Server, etc.) installed on a test server.  After installation, I am able to connect to SSO via vSphere Web Client using the admin@system-domain account.  I am able to create SSO users and assign permissions user SSO.  However, vCenter server list is empty, there is no vCenter server on this list, which should not be; See the attached screen shot.  This is why I'm not able to test other features of vCenter.  Is any one having the same number as I am?  It is a clean installation, running on a Windows 2008 R2 operating system.  Thank you.

  Salvation was,

  Go to your SSO Configuration and click your ad you have configured under the identity source.  To do like default domain by clicking on the symbol that looks like this

  

  Once that is done, try to connect with your AD administrator and see if the inventory is the filler.

  If it isn't yet, connect to vCenter using the vSphere client and click your object of vCenter, go to the permissions tab and add the authorization with your AD username and the role of the administrator. Now you should be able to connect with the AD user on the web client and the vCenter + inventory should appear.

  I would like to know if it works.

• Cannot save vSphere Web Client after the replacement of the SSL certificate

  Hi all

  I have followed the Articles of Derek Seaman on the replacement of all the certificates in vSphere 5.1 and have since turned to the VMware KB Articles. I replaced the certificates for the SSO, the inventory Service and vCenter Server with no problems (other than having to use OpenSSL-Win64 for vCenter certificate that I could not get the x 86 version certificate of work, makes no sense, but I'll take the small victory).

  If you follow the guide of vmware to replace the web service certificate, http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC & docType = kc & docTypeID = DT_KB_1_1 & externalId = 2035010, I get to step 12, enter the VMware vSphere Client Web back to vCenter Single Sign On and the following error:

  ##########################

  VMware technical support suggested I uninstall all components, delete all databases and try again. I have done this and have exactly the same result.

  Has anyone seen elsewhere or managed to solve?

  Chris

  So, I managed to solve this problem. Not sure that this applies to everyone, but my problem was caused by registering using among other names of the subject in the SSL certificate for the SSO rather than the common name of the certificate.

  For example, the server name is server1.company.com. It is the common name of the certificate. But one of SAN of the certificate has been "vSphere.company.com".  If I used this other name in one of the component records that they would fail. I found that I have to use the common name. Even if the alternative names of job access to via your browser web, there is no certificate warning, if the registration of components using these names, it would fail.

  It seems crazy that you can use any of the San... then why allow us to make?

  Initially, I tried to replace the authentication certificate ONLY when the town was called vsphere.company.com, rather than the hostname of the server, and which is installed. However, try to install the Web Client would fail. When you come to the step where you have to accept the certificate of SSO, the installation fails because the common name of the certificate does not have the host name of the SSO server. It seems insane to me... why the host name of the server running the SSO should still come in when all calls are over HTTPS is simply absurd!

  I confirmed this with VMware Technical Support and they checked my conclusions.

• Virtual Storage Manager - can't change instant planning time interval with vSphere Web Client

  Hello

  I try to activate Virtual Storage Manager schedules-model for a data store using vSphere Web Client. Everything works fine, but I can't change the time interval of planning of the snapshot. He remains at 12:00 midnight to 12:00 midnight. I can't change it manually or by dragging the bar.

  I tried with IE9, IE11, newer Chrome browsers. And with Flash versions 15 and 13-. Same mistake.

  I've added the URL of Sites you trust with weaker security settings - no help.

  Y at - it a bug or something else I can try?

  I just talked to Dell support on my problem and this is apparently a known issue with local Europe\UK.  The similarity of our problems might be useful - workaround for me was to settle the Locale\Regional from my PC, where I'm doing it in the United States.  Not the time zone or other settings, to control panel, then "Region and language", then on the first tab, 'Format' box should be set to "English (United States).  Close browsers, start again and it worked for me.

  Might be worth a try if you're not already in US format. (mine was in the United Kingdom).

• Web Client Plugin not completely installed

  Hello

  I tried to understand this, but I've not seen anything that solves this problem. When I sign NSX Manager 6.2 Build 2986609 with vCenter 5.5 updated 2nd, the connection is successful and I can see the extension listed in the CROWD and the web client extensions Manager but the tab networking and security in the Web Client does not appear. I restarted vCenter both NSX Manager, connectivity tested between each configured NTP, DNS configured, tried both a domain service account, and the [email protected] (and logged as a user registered once) but nothing is visible.

  C:\ProgramData\VMware\vSphere Web Client\vc-packages\vsphere-customer-serenity is not a directory, vshield

  

  So I thought the real problem. This is the time zone setting. Zone MUST match that vCenter uses. I always left appliances linux (like NSX and same ESXi) to UTC, but all of my windows as vCenter server are on the Eastern time zone. That was my problem, even though the weather was synchronized the time zone must be defined correctly.
