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

  • Widgets/Dashboard customized for vSphere Web Client?

    Hey all,.

    I have tested vCOPS 5.7 in the laboratory and have a question:

    Is it possible to create dashboards customized to the users that connect through the Web Client vSphere?

    Or is it only possible to create dashboards customized during connection of users through the personalized UI Portal?

    I have a few users who will record only by using the Web Client vSphere.  Although the predefined dashboards is nice, I want to know if any degree of customization is possible.

    Thank you

    Andrew

    It depends on what exactly you want to customize, but generally vSphere UI as a whole is much less customizable than the custom user interface. It depends on whether access you if via the vSphere Client or directly through the browser. The widgets in the dashboard of the user interface of vSphere are hard defined by object type. The customizable part of vSphere UI is tab analysis (Heatmap Gallery).

    Hope this helps,

  • Is there a vSphere Web Client Plugin UI Guidance Document?

    Hello

    I was looking for a document of instructions for user interface to the vSphere Client Web Plugin.  I found one for the Client vSphere here:

    http://www.VMware.com/support/developer/VC-SDK/vcplugin/vSphereClient_plugin_ui_guidelines.PDF

    Specifically, I write a plugin that will allow the user to change the settings in a new sub tab on the tab manage for a specified host system.  So, I would follow the same look and feel of other tabs under Deputy manage the tab for a host system.  In other words, I would like my list of parameters have the same title bar to research and the light blue column for the names of the Panel settings "Configuration at the time of the" as shown below, for example.

    timeConfig.png

    So, if there is a way to access a global CSS file, that would be great.  Or (more realistic), if there was a directive from the user interface where I could get information on police and the color information to these panels, which would be very useful.  Or if there is another way that I didn't think to get that kind of information, I would be very grateful.

    Thanks for any help you can give me,

    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.

  • 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, 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

    homelab-nsx-registration.PNG

    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.

  • vSphere Web Client

    We are short of vSphere 5.5 and I went to change the settings of one of our virtual machines and I get the message, "you cannot use the vSphere client to change the settings of the virtual version 10 or higher machines. Use the vSphere web client to change the settings for this virtual machine. He did this on one server and I don't know when it started or how do I install/use the web client of vSphere.

    If you don't want to use the web client, you can always return the virtual machine to version 9 of material or below. This can be done to turn off the virtual machine and by editing the vmx file:

    virtualHW.version = "10".

    Change this line:

    virtualHW.version = "9".

    Then turn on the virtual computer and you will be able to change the settings without the web client.

  • 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 '

    unnamed.png

    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 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!

  • vcops presents in vSphere client but not in vSphere Web Client

    Question for you.  I just installed vCOPs for demo in our environment, and I'm having a problem seen in the web client.  I am able to see it in real vSphere Client with all registered vcenters, but this isn't the best way to use the tool.  I use Chrome verstion 34.0.1847.116.  I also tried in IE.

    By using the web client of vSphere vCOPS isn't built the way but he is in the thick client.  In the client heavy, you have a plug-in, that you click and it basically gives you the web console window in a tab.  There is nothing like this for the Web Client.  If you click on an object, you can see the health of this object and so forth.  If you want to watch as you see in the thick client but you will need to connect to the user interface for vCOPS self https://vcops-ip/vcops-vspheremeaning.  Or if you look on the homepage of the web client, you can see under surveillance, you see the vCOPS icon and which will bring you to the login page.
