  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.

• VCenter Server 5.1 installation fails on registration with vCenter Single Sign On

  Hi all

  Server 2008R2.

  The two level 5. 01b and new facility gives the same error message.

  vCenter installed Single Sign On OK

  vCenter Inventory Service installed OK

  VCenter Server installation is interrupted when the installation dialog box says:

  Recording with vCenter Single Sign On

  The error message is:

  Error 29113. Incorrect entry - a command line argument is not, a file is not found or file specifications doesen't contain the required information, or clocks on the two systems are not synchronized. Check vm_ssoreg.log in the temporary folder of the system for more details.

  Closed log file.

  Know someone at - it a solution for this?

  I had the same problem with the certificate has expired. VMware has made a new kb article:

  http://KB.VMware.com/kb/2035413

  This vcsso file is only there if you do not click ok on the error window. but you do it anyway. Look under the VirtualCenter\SSL of C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware and see if the rui certificate has expired. mine did and after I removed all the files in there and restart the installation, everything went well, and the new certificate is valid 10 years ;-)

  hope it does not help anyone.

• Error upgrade vCenter Single Sign-on to 5.5

  When I try to upgrade Single Sign-On 5.1 to 5.5, I get the following error:

  CustomAction BootstrapAll returned error code 1603 (note this is perhaps not 100% accurate if translation happened inside the bin to sand)

  Action ended at 11:35:09: InstallFinalize. Return value 3.

  This translates into a restore happening. In the search for documentation, there is mention of renaming the CIS record, that I made, but does not solve is not the issue. All flows in this issue when going from 5.1 to 5.5?

  OK, so I think that I understand the question. Apparently, when up-to-date failed the first time, potentially due to the wrong file CIS, when you delete this folder and try cleaning and reinstall, Setup does not re-create the CIS folder. When I got this recreated folder, the installation is completed successfully. Thus, it seems that I am good to go.

• vCenter/Single Sign - on design recommendation

  Hello

  We would like to do a new install of our 2 virtual centres.

  The vCenters looks like this

  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

  1 vCenter main Site (source vCenter for SRM)

  1 vCenter Site Backup (target vCenter for SRM)

  The current running configuration has a problem with SINGLE sign-on. If the primary vCenter is down you can't connect on the second, which should be the backup vcenter.

  My question is, how to configure the vCenters with SSO as the two vCenter are not affected by another (related modes and MRS. should also work).

  Somebody has experiences with this or has a few recommendations for me?

  Thanks so far

  Simon

  5.5 you will want to install the first VirtualCenter and create a new SSO domain.  Then when you install the second vcenter, you must also install SSO, but tell him to join an existing domain. This will cause the two bodies SSO replicate, but each vcenter has its own copy of the SSO database. In this way when the primary vcenter disconnects, the vcenter backup can still login with SSO and all the data you need.

  I'm not familiar enough with SSO s 5.1 - we skipped this upgrade (and boy, I'm happy). My advice would be to spend 5.5 with a clean if possible install and configure these organizations on both sides with replication.

• VCenter 5.5 install question for vCenter single sign on Information

  My DNS and reverse DNS work; It is again first Vcenter server and it refers to the log file does not exist anywhere vm_ssoreg.log don't know why her attempt to find a look up of service which does not yet exist on the system

• vCenter Single Sign-on

  Below updates in custody, it is necessary to have SSO installed for the new vCenter implementation 5.1? Can ignore us?

  What happens when the SSO server is down?

  
  

  During authentication UNIQUE is down, any operation that requires authentication or validation of the session does not work. This implies vCenter capacity may not be available. It also means users cannot connect to vCenter or the Web Client. The hypervisor layer continues to work as usual and your workloads continue to run.
  

  
  

  Can I disable the SINGLE sign-on and go back to the old method of authentication in vCenter Server?

  
  

  N °

  as much as I know there is no way not to install SSO.  vCenter is conditioned by the inventory, which is dependent on the SSO Service.  So, I don't see anyway around not install SSO.

  Even if the SSO does not work, you just won't be able to 'amp', you should still be able to connect using your domain\username and then typing your password manually.

• vCenter Single Sign we install fails (could not contact the search service)

  I try to install the first server vCenter our Organization and he keeps fails with the error "could not contact the Search Service.  Please check VM_ssoreg.log in the temporary folder of the system for more information".  I checked the system temporary folder and there is no file that is created, but there was one called vminst.log.  In the file, I found the following, but I can't find a way to solve the problem:

  VMware VirtualCenter-build-1123961: 07/08/13 08:40:03 see vm_ssoreg.log in the temporary folder of the system

  VMware VirtualCenter-build-1123961: 07/08/13 08:40:03 SSO registration tool failed with return code 2

  VMware VirtualCenter-build-1123961: 07/08/13 08:40:03 updated property ProductName = VMware vCenter Server

  I try to install the server 2008R2 64-BIT STD and have done the following to try debugging the problem:

  1 server is part of Active Directory, and the FULL domain name can be resolved successfully by using nslookup.

  2 time server is correct.

  3. manually added the name of the computer in the host file

  4. I tried installation 5.1 update 1 b

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Yes, it could be the problem. the non-ASCII characters, semicolon (;), double quote (' '), single quote ('), circumflex (^) and backslash (\). is not supported by the SSO passwords.

• Apex upgrade to 4.0 and existing Single-Sign-On settiongs

  Hello
  I currently use SSO (engine registered as partner Oracle SSO application Apex) with Apex 3.1 and have two or three Apex applications using Oracle SSO.
  If I go to Apex 4.0, my current setup will be intact or do I have to re - register Apex SSO?
  
  
  Thanks in advance,
  ASHA

  ASHA:

  As long as you follow the steps above it should be no problem with SSO after the upgrade. The steps above are those that we used internally after the upgrade to 4.0.

  Kind regards

• The upgrade to vCenter

  I'm about to upgrade our cluster of vSphere ESXi 5 to 5.5, but before I did I wanted to confirm that the upgrade to vCenter there is no downtime for virtual machines hosted.  I don't plan any, but wanted to make sure that no one had met something unexpected.

  Tony

  You do not wait to have a downtime of any virtual machines hosted by the upgrade to vCenter.

  If you upgraded to v5.0, then you also need to install VMware Single Sign On (SSO), which was introduced to vSphere 5.1.

• Single Sign-On sequence 5.1 to 5.5 upgrade (multisite mode and bound)

  Hello

  I have trying to find SSO upgrade documentation that describes the options I have to choose for the following upgrade scenario:

  Before the upgrade to 5.5:

  • 2 x 5.1 vCentre servers (Windows 2K8R2) along with related modes.
  • Each vCentre has its own local SSO server that runs on the same server vCentre. Both have the same deployment ID.

  My understanding of what the upgrade for authentication UNIQUE and related modes cannot function after update 5.5 should go as follows (obviously related modes has been removed before the upgrade):

  1. On the first SSO server. Switch from 5.1 to 5.5 using the MULTISITE option. (Web Client follow-up, inventory Service & Server vCentre).
  2. On the 2nd Server SSO. Switch from 5.1 to 5.5 using the MULTISITE option. (Web Client follow-up, inventory Service & Server vCentre).

  The problem is the first SSO server when I select MULTISITE option on the next page, I get the details of the host partner and password I was do one of the following errors:

  1. Could not get the server certificate, or
  2. Unable to get the host name

  And cannot proceed with the upgrade. The only option that works is the AUTONOMOUS vCENTRE SSO SERVER option which I think related modes don't work after upgrade.

  Any help pointing me to a document that stresses the good options if bound mode is preserved after upgrade would be great.

  See you soon

  You use the 2 vCenter 5.5 Update Setup or an older version? Because there are a few changes on the descriptions of the modes of deployments between vCenter 5.5 GA/starting at day 1 and 5.5 Update 2, take a look:

  The deployment modes available for vCenter Single Sign-On are:

  For 5.5GA for vSphere vSphere 5.5 Update 1 b:

  • vCenter Single Sign-On for your first server vCenter Server
  • vCenter Single Sign-On for an additional vCenter Server into an existing site (formerly Cluster HA)
  • vCenter Single Sign-On for an additional vCenter server with a new site (formerly Multisite)

  For vSphere 5.5 Update 2 and beyond:

  • SSO Server vCenter standalone
  • High availability
  • Multisite

  For your first vCenter, you must select "vCenter Standalone single authentication server ' and the second 'Multisite' option, see this note:

  Multisite | vSphere 5.5 Update 2 and beyond

  This option installs a vCenter Single Sign-On additional server in a new site of logic. Single Sign-On Server vCenter are created using this option, they will all be members of the same domain of authentication vSphere.local. As an improvement on vSphere 5.1, provided Single Sign-On (policy, users of the solution/application, sources of identity) are now automatically replicated between each vCenter Server Single Sign-On in the same field of authentication vSphere.local 30 seconds. This mode should be used after the first Single Sign-On Server vCenter is deployed using the vCenter Single Sign-On for your first server vCenter Server or stand-alone vCenter Server SSO option, depending on your version of version 5.5 of vSphere .

  For more information, see this KB article: VMware KB: vCenter Single Sign-On deployment for vSphere 5.5 modes

• Upgrade to vcenter 5.5 to 6.0

  Hello

  I tried to improve windows Vcenter 5.5 with SSO to Vcenter 6.0 with controller platform, but when I ran the installer, only sso-to-platform controller has been upgraded.

  In the installer first window was written: "another 5.x products are also detected on this machine but will not be upgraded." After you install the controller platform, all the old 5.5 services have been uninstalled, but when I tried to rerun the installer - I could only to remove controller platform.

  In this case, I uninstalled old vcenter earlier and tried to install the new version, I can't do that, cause, I was able to not use of old db vcenter.

  Could you give some ideas what is wrong and what is the workaround?

  THX

  I solved my problem of last upgrade vcenter 5.5 u2 u3, I have successfully upgraded to vcenter 6.0 u1.

• The upgrade to vCenter 5 foundation

  Hello, everyone!

  I have several questions about upgrading to vCenter 5 foundation:

  (1) is editing Foundation vCenter is frowned upon in vSphere 6?

  (2) If a client vCenter Foundation 5 license and valid SnS, can it move its vCenter server to vCenter 6 Foundation?

  (3) if the customer has vCenter Foundation 5 license and SnS validates that lisenses must purchase for upgrade to vsphere 6?

  Please take a look at VMware KB: law Mapping for vSphere and vCenter Server which contains the official answer to your questions.
