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.

  • With regard to the registration of plugin for web client package in vcenter server

    Hello

    I am able to create the package (.zip file) plugin, using Eclipse plugin virgo and able to deploy and test the same thing with the serenity customer as described in the SDK tutorial.

    To register for my plugin package as an extension with vcneter server, I followed steps below:

  • vSphere Web Client fails

    I'm not sure of the right forum for this question. I am trying to connect from my desktop to the Web Client for a vCenter Server 5.1.0. All I get is 'cannot display this page' or a close equivalent in IE, Firefox or Chrome. However, I am able to connect to the vCenter using the old client vSphere. And everyone in my office is able to connect to the vCenter uses the Web Client, so I'm the only person who can not. My workstation reboot didn't help. I've got VMware customer integration plugin 5.1.0 installed on my workstation. What can I do to fix this?

    Thank you!

    You are able to open the vCenter server's default web page?

    Please check if there are firewall rules or settings of proxy in place that prevent you to access the Web Client.

  • 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.

  • 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:

    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.

  • 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

  • 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.
