• vCenter - vSphere Web Client problem

  Hello

  We have some problems with our Web Client vSphere. The vCenter 5.1 is installed on a Windows Server 2012, and you can connect to the Web Client.

  When you log on as "Administrator" (the Windows account) everything works fine, but when you use the admin@System-Domain account you can connect, but there is no display resources:

  No ESXi hosts, no VMs, no data warehouses, nothing.

  CU

  Well you would login to VC using the account administrator (via the web client), click on the Victoria Cross and select the permissions tab, and then add the admin@system-domain and assign the required permissions.

• Manager update is not displayed in the section of vSphere web customer service

  I know component Server Update Manager is installed on VC, but I'm not able to see the Update Manager icon in the 'home' of web client vSphere section.

  I want to set up the frequency of the update of the repository browser and no vSphere client.

  I can see the icon for the Update Manager as well in "hosts and clusters" and "models and virtual computers.

  Update Manager still do not offer web client I believe. You must use vSphere client to use Update Manager

• Connection of vSphere web customer smart card

  Smart card logon can be enabled on the web client of Vsphere?  I use 5.5

  I've looked everywhere and cannot find any info.

  Thank you

  The only option for smart card that my knowledge is that which is supposed to come with vSphere 6.0. It is however for US Federal customers only. (see http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/vsphere/VMware-vSphere-Platform-Whats-New.pdf)

  in the document:

  DCUI smart card authentication

  This feature is for US Federal customers only. It allows access of DCUI connection using a common access card (CAC) and verification of personal identity (VIP). An ESXi host must belong to an Active Directory domain.

• I need some help please (web Vsphere client connection problem with Vcenter)

  Dear professionals

  I can not connect to the server via the customer web vicenter.

  I have installed and configured the following successfully:

  -esxi5.5

  -Win 2008 server1 (installed on AD)

  -Server2 Win 2008 joined to the domain, then I installed on: sso, inventory, customer web Vsphere and vcenter server service

  as you can see in the attached photos, when I double click on the client vsphere of wen I should be able to log on to the server vcenter, but I couldn't do it.

  do not forget that I logged Win 2008 server2 as a domain administrator, then I installed sso, inventory, customer web Vsphere and vcenter server service

  the WebClient service is runningand I tried https://server.example.com:9443 / vsphere client.

  There are more than two things, I noticed:

  -When I turned the web customer service I got the certificate error (see photo).

  -When I typed nslookup in the domain controller I got the error message.  web vsphere client error is related to the DNS error in the domain controller?

  
  

  Please see the pictures attached.

  Please tell me what to do if you have any idea or what is the cause of this problem.

  Please let me know as soon as possible because I've stuck to that point where I can't connect to the via customer web vsphere vcenter.

  Best regards

  Please register these two servers to the DNS entry field. and make sure both servers firewall set OFF mode.  If the production environment please check the network connection by using the network firewall team.

• 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

• Problem installing vSphere Web Client on Windows 8.1

  Hello

  I want to install VMware vSphere Web Client on Windows 8.1 to connect to a server ESXi vShpere. But I get an error message stating "the product cannot be installed on Windows XP SP2 and higher.

  Well WIndows 8.1 is "WIndows XP SP2 that precedes" but its obviously not recognized as such.

  
  Question: does anyone have a solution to overcome this defective version of the installer check?

  cordially Edmond

  Nothing in particular. Just thought while I reinstall my client pc to install the last managementoption of the ESXi server. And I thought that to be the webclient service.

  Thanks for all the information. Super!

• 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 impossible to deploy OVF,

  I want to use WebClient deploy the ovf of POS, but every time, it appears that: customer integration plugin must be installed to activate click on function of ovf the link below to download the insstaller.

  The I click on it and install it, of course I disable the IE protected mode and restart it.

  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:

• 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).

• 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.

  Chrome 43 breaks the vSphere Web Client integration Plugin... Once again

• Unable to see vCO in vSphere Web Client

  I am currently using vRealize Orchestrator 6.0.0. I tried to add the name extension to my vSphere Web Client, but it still does not work.

  I have configured authentication SSO, the network, imported SINGLE authentication certificate. I ran the two workflows 'Add an instance of vCenter Server' and "Register as a Server extension vCenter Orchestrator vCetner" in "library / vCenter / Configuration.

  When I try to restart my vSphere Web service Client, I can see the vCO in it, but it goes away after a minute. And I can see, the error message.

  Cannot connect to one or more systems of vCenter server:

  https:// " {vCenterIP}: 443/sdk '

  

  It seems that this is not a combination of supported - vRO 6.0.0 (for customers of vRA 6.2 only) + VC 5.5.0. Also in general is not required to run the workflow extension registry. The extension must be registered automatically with the workflow add vCenter server. You could wait for vSphere 6.0.0 6.0.1and vRO and try with them.

  Kind regards

• VSphere Web Client cannot connect to the server vCenter Single Sign On.

  I'm running the virtual appliance of the trial 5.5.0.20400 build 2442330 on ESXi 5.5.0, 2068190

  While I try to log on to the Web Client, I get this error.  VSphere Web Client cannot connect to the server vCenter Single Sign On.

  I put fallow the steps to disable SSO by changing the webclient.properties line add file and ad sso.enabled = false .    Then on the vCenter Server Appliance, restart the vSphere client service by typing service vsphere-client restart .

  I enclose the reference files.

  All ideas will be useful

  
  

  This answer was simple, all I had to do was remove the # in front of the statement in the file.   and SSO has been disabled after the restart of the service.
