• vSphere client using the name Netbios on ESXi host does not connect using the credentials of a Windows session

  I have 3 ESXi 5.5 hosts, all connected to a single server vCenter, where we try to authenticate directly to the host by using the windows logon credentials. I have installation of the Administrators group of ESX and filled with the admin accounts that I want to be able to authenticate to the host. The Netbios name of the domain is tstdomain (for example) where the domain name is tstdomain.com. If I connect directly to a host and check the checkbox 'Use Windows Session Credentials', the vSphere client will default by using the Netbios name of tstdomain\adminusername and the connection will fail indicating that the username and/or password is incorrect. If I enter the domain name of tstdomain.com\adminusername, I am able to connect to the host without error.

  Does anyone know how get past that this matter have the vSphere client uses the domain name or to use the Netbios name and connect with the credentials to active directory? I looked by editing the file/etc/hosts and checked that the SPN of the host is correct in active directory with the command hostname setspn - l, with no luck on one. I also tried to change the field of research for the Netbios name of tstdomain rather than the tstdomain.com domain name, also did not work.

  Thanks in advance for your suggestions on how to correct the problem.

  Seems that this issue was due to a slow network and the connection timeout when you try to talk to the domain controller. I am able to connect with windows creds now, but the connection is very slow. I increased the default period of 30 to 60 seconds to help work around the problem.

• logging of errors in vsphere client with the domain credentials

  I have a 5.5 esxi host managed by 5.5 vcenter.

  I need enable a domain user to be a power user on the host, but don't have access to other hosts managed by the vcenter, so I added their domain account to the permissions tab on the host as a power user.

  I want him connect directly to the host by using the client Vsphere and Vcenter not connect at all.

  However, when he tries to connect to the host using the host name, it gets the error:

  "cannot complete the connection due to a bad user name or password"

  I added myself to the host as a power user and I get the same error

  I have added my name from AD domain host, added an entry in my DNS, more I added a domain suffix to the host.

  No change.

  I can log in as root to the host through the vsphere client.

  What Miss me in this Web of permissions?

  THX

  I had already joined the domain of the host and adding the user directly didn't work.

  I finally called in Vmware and has technical support do that too many questions.  Finally, he created a role group on the host via the Vsphere Client containing the options I needed for this user and it worked.

• the root account not working for vSphere Client 5.5, for SSH works fine

  Hey.

  I got this:

  I can connect to vCenter 5.5 by SSH and the root user and password works fine

  I can connect to vCenter 5.5 by vSphere Client and use domain user and everything works fine

  I cant't connection 5.5 by user of vSphere vCenter Client and use of root and the password. I have information on

  "Cannot complete the connection because username or password incorect.

  IM shure I use the right password for root.

  A suggestion?

  

  Ok. Thank you community vExpert and Lukasz of my team, we found easy reason perhaps, but not at the first glance for me

  We had the installer by default "Source of identity" for Active Directory then when I used only root for connection I got the error with wrong password.

  In this possible case is just to connect to vcenter using root@localos credintials.

  

  But in addition we sam of similar mistakes inside the SSO connects:

• vSphere Client: bad user name or password

  Hello

  I'm new on the vSphere server and it seems that I made my first big mistake.

  I installed a 6 of VMware ESXi server and I am not able to connect to the admin with the vSphere Client account more.

  If I use the same credentials to log in via ssh or PowerCLI, I can connect and everything works. But when I use the vSphere client it says that the user name or password is incorrect.

  I tried to add a new user in the shell but when I try to connect with this user via the vSphere Client, I get the message that the account does not have permission to open a session.

  I also tried to use "pam_tally2 - user = root - reset" to reset the counter of failed connections, but it always says 0 failures and doesn't change anything for me.

  Change the admin password (in the shell via passwd) doesn't help either.

  Is it possible to grant permissions for connection the Client vSphere for users outside of the shell or the PowerCLI?

  Or is it possible to "wake-up" or "unlock" my admin account?

  Thanks in advance,

  DerpDerpson

• Impossible to connect to vCenter Server 5.5 using the vSphere Client

  Hello

  
  

  I'm trying to configure VMware Lab home using the link below and I have reached a stage where I need to connect to vCenter Server using the vSphere client.

  
  http://boerlowie.WordPress.com/2011/12/13/building-the-ultimate-vSphere-lab-part-9-ESXi/

  
  

  I installed the package of 5.5 full vCenter server using the simple installation option and it includes vCenter server, single sign - on, Webclient vSphere, vCenter server and vCenter Server inventory service. All the the latter is installed on a virtual machine that is running Windows server 2008 R2 guest OS.

  
  

  Whenever I try to open a session on the vCenter Server uses the vSphere client, one of the following error is displayed.

  
  

  1. you do not have the permissions to connect to the server 'vCenter server IP address.

  2. cannot complete the connection incorrect username or password-, this error is visible when I do not specify domain\username domain user name and simply enter the user name.

  
  

  For the details of the error, please see the screenshots - vSphere_client_1, vSphere_client_2 and vSphere_client_3.

  
  

  As suggested in the link below, I tried to create an SPN and then set the SPN (Principal of Service name) and the UPN (User Principal name) in the Active Directory identity Source using the web of vSphere client (please see screenshot vSphere_Webclient_2)

  
  

  http://vinfrastructure.it/2014/01/issue-in-logging-into-vCenter-server-using-Windows-ad-credentials/

  
  

  To fix the permission error, I tried to add the domain user to the Administrators group on the server vCenter (see screenshot vSphere_Webclient_1).

  
  

  However, none of the above-mentioned resolution has worked.

  
  

  So can someone please help? I am stuck because of this problem and badly need help to move forward.

  
  

  Thank you

• vSphere Client Web - VM not found after add to the inventory

  Hello!

  We use device and Web Client Version 5.5.0 Build 1750785 vSphere vCenter.

  Machine virtual VM1 in the resource POOL1 pool configured on cluster1. DRS on in manual mode.

  I create user USER1 in AD with no privileges and allow it to turn on VM1. (User1 is a member of the Group GROUP1 and power on permission set GROUP1 POOL1 level.)

  Everything works very well.

  After I have remove the inventory VM1 and add to the inventory again.

  Then I login to vSphere Web Client with the User1 credentials and try to power on VM1, but get error not found "VM".

  I relog to vSphere Web Client with administrative rights and try to turn on VM1. VM1 on successfully.

  I check the permission for User1 on VM1. Everything was ok.

  Can I use vSphere Client Version 5.5.0 build 1746248 (not web) to USER1 qualifications and try to turn on VM1. VM1 lit with success!

  But I need User1 to power on VM1 from WebClient.

  Do you have any suggestions?

  Thank you

  later I try to adjust the power on the authorization of USER1 (VM1), level of the virtual computer object. VM1 on WEB Client successfully!

  But I have put on leave at POOL1

  Yes, you are right.

  I solved the problrem. Thank you.

  After re - add to the discovered inventory updated VM1 on virtual machine file.

  I put read-only role in GROUP1 without spread on discovered virtual machine folder.

  VM1 powered with success on the web client and the vSphere Client.

• Server.getCredential () and vSphere client web 5.5.0b

  When connected customer orchestrator Server.getCredential () returns an object of the current user's credentials... However, if you run this method in a workflow from the web client, it does not seem to pass through and you end up with a null value.

  Anyone else see this issue?

  See you soon,.

  When you lo in vCO customer, you provide a user name and password, one internally, this is represented by an object of type UserToken

  When you run a workflow of vSphere Web Client, it calls the REST API of vCO not passing the name user and password, but token SSO - one object of type SamlToken. In this case, there is no available password so we cannot construct the appropriate UserToken object. That's why this particular API returns null.

  If you must pass the name of user and password to your technical workflow of customization and want to be able to invoke this workflow from vSphere Client Web - it is impossible to do, because there is no way to get the password of the user logged into vSphere Web Client. You can only get the user name.

• VSphere client, cannot connect to Vmachine on ESXi5

  Hello

  I hope someone can helpme or guide me on this one.

  I already create two VMs on ESXi5 and their spouse on my domain, I can controlit from the console on esxi (via vsphere client)

  but... If I try to connect directly to the vmachine of my office via vsphere client I had a conection error

  I try with my domain user and the password

  I try with the checkbox "use the same windows credentials" and still the same...

  I thought maybe I give permmits to the vmachine directly from Esxi5, but I noticed that does not show in my area and I can't add my name of user or groups. I wonder if theres some how to join my esxi5 welcome to my domain and then can show my domain name such as an option to choose some users of group or individual userid

  (see attached)

  Thank you and have a nice day of departure (sound almost 07:00)

  You can join your ESXi your unter AD-> authentication services configuration.

  But that can only be allows you to assign permissions to allow users to connect to your server ESXi with the vSphere Client and do things over there, like create virtual machines or use its console your AD.

  To access the operating system inside the virtual machine remotely, use RDP, VNC, XDMCP, etc as a.p. said

• Can we start VMware vSphere Client with uid and pwd together?

  It is possible to pass the UserID and pwd in VMware vSphere client application using program options?

  The program did not show anything re. Start arguments or settings for the program

  I think it's a little embarrassing that I always need to manually enter credentials and would define me a shortcut that contains the credentials.

  Something like "C:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\Infrastructure\Virtual Infrastructure Client\Launcher\VpxClient.exe - uid < UID > - < PWD > pwd..."

  Is this possible? Or via a config file?

  M.

  Please take a look at for example http://www.johnoriordan.ie/index.php/2011/02/21/vsphere-client-command-line-options/ for the way in which this can be done.

• Users of Active Directory cannot connect to vCenter 5 device via vSphere Client

  I'm unable to use credentials to access AD unit vCenter 5 via the vSphere client. I get an error message that I can log in because of 'incorrect user or password name' I am able to connect with this AD username and password for my vCenter 4.1, and environment to my RDP hosts by using the credentials of the AD, if AD works very well. And the password that I entered is correct.

  I could connect with AD credentials two weeks ago. Two weeks ago I stopped being able to connect with the credentials of the AD. I dropped back to the use of the local access through the vSphere client root user login. It seems that two weeks ago, my Oracle user passwords has expired. I fixed that by connecting to the EM console and responding to the command prompt to change the passwords. I've "changed" them to return the same password. Then, I subsequently put the limit password_life_time unlimited in the default profile. I tested since the vCSA admin interface the database settings. The settings saved and restarted the service VPXD.

  I have a 5.0.0 - 455964 vCenter device connected to an Oracle database. I activated the AD authentication in vCenter web admin GUI. I restarted vCenter Server Appliance after you have enabled this feature. I have validated that the time on the device of vCenter and the Active Directory zone are less than one second on the other. DNS forward and reverse unit number of AD and self-esteem are good. DNS is hosted on the AD controller, so I have connectivity between vCenter and AD. I run the query domainjoin-cli command and output is correct. I checked from the vSphere that my AD user customer and the ad group each received the Administrator role for the vCenter in the permissions screen object.

  Any ideas where to look next?

  Paul

  Hello

  (1) log the vCenter Server Appliance as root.

  2) reset the number of connection attempts that have failed for the domain user assigned with the command:

  / sbin/pam_tally - reset user user@domain--

  (3) to determine the status of each user, run the following script:

  to CONNECT to ' / opt/same/bin/lw-enum-users | grep name | AWK {' print $2' '}'
  do
  DOMAIN = $(écho $LOGIN | cut-d ' \'-f1)
  USER = $(écho $LOGIN | cut-d ' \'-f2)

• VSphere Client multiple connections to a single server vCenter Server?

  I have a vCenter Server that manages a few hosts. I know it's a bad habit to manage guests individually using vSphere Client, but I was wondering if I can have multiple connections to the same server vCenter Server vSphere client using the same Windows credentials?

  It seems counterproductive to only allow a connection to the server vCenter Server...

  Yes - by default, a connection up to 25 to vCenter

• Where can I download vSphere Client?

  The vmware site must be one of the sites more frusterating, that I've never been. Everything is hidden and barried without information below value... you can I'm frusterated? I searched for vsphere client, and the ONLY thing that appears is the documentation. Even if I filter by products. Can someone post a link? I need for server 2008r2 64 bit.

  "Support and download" select VMware vSphere or VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), depending on wheter you use paid or free edition. Then, follow the link to the product and download the vSphere Client after sign in with your credentials. You can also copy the link from the web site of ESXi (see post from Troy) and use it on a system with Internet access.

• SRM plugin has me re - authenticate each time after I have logged in vSphere client?

  After I authenticate the client vSphere and then proceed to the section of Site recovery, I wonder to be re - authenticate the vCenter recovery.

  Is it possible to store my credentials, so I sign in twice now when I need for activities of MRS?  Once for vsphere client, and then back to recovery vcenter as SRM is plugged.

  Thank you.

  This is a normal activity and there is not yet a cache for the other site identification method, would be awesome to have device assuming that the remote site is located in the area of trust or A.D. even.

• vSphere Client display language VI

  Hi all. I try to help someone to find an answer to their question and at the same time answering the question for me. Basically, the problem is after you install the VI Client of vSphere that I am triyng to have the language that appears in English. I'm on PC with a Japanese version of Windows. I found the following command which presents some of the menu in English, but not all "vpxClient-local en_US'."

  He States also according to the ESX and vCenter vCenter Server Installation Guide ESX 4 4 page 88 ' this selection controls the language for only the installer. When you use the vSphere Client to connect to vCenter Server system, vSphere Client appears in the language associated with the setting of locale on your machine. You can change this behavior with a statement from command line or by modifying the regional settings in the registry of the machine. See the Basic System Administration. "

  For me, it means that I can change the default language permanently by editing the registry. Paragraph points me to the Basic System Administration guide (http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r40/vsp_40_admin_guide.pdf) but there is no mention at all about editing the registry, or anything else related to the language in this guide.

  If anyone knows what I have to change in the registry, that it would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you.

  See you soon

  Kevin

  Hello

  I had the same problem and I ve tested the following command line:

  local vpxclient-en              (now the vsphere client is English)

  vpxclient - regional settings              (now the vsphere client is German)

  It would be a nice feature to add a small language-drop-down list (same as use credentials to log on to windows)
