How to access 5.5 sdk's web

[maxpaynebupt]

I downloaded serenity-client-5.5.0-1300321.zip,

then unzip,

then start with serenity-client\server\bin\startup.bat,

after there is no more output in the console, I tried to access https://127.0.0.1:9443/vsphere-client, nothing happens, just cant access it, I checked the port 9443 is being listened, what's wrong? Anything else should be done?

 

Or, is there any guide for 5.5 just like the fling sdk 6.5's setup guide?

 

thanks.

HI,

 

I have downloaded the same SDK and initially I was no able to access the vsphere client as well.

Then I modified the "tomcat-server.xml" (in /serenity-client/server/configuration/) and changed these fields:

- keystoreFile="/var/lib/vmware/vsphere-client/store.jks" (point it to your store.jks)

- keystorePass="vmw@re" (store.jks password)

 

Then I was able to access the vsphere client.

 

Here is a link to the 5.5 SDK release notes and programming guide: https://code.vmware.com/web/sdk/55/web-client

 

Best Regards,

Denis

Thank u, Denis,  it works,  the web is available now, I checked the setup steps in fling6.5's guide, it is there.....

And, I double checked the setup guide, it seems nothing left behind now, but, when I try to login , it says:"vSphere Web Client is missing VMware Lookup Service configuration.",   as I already have a runnable 6.5 server, the webclient.properties and ds.properties are already in the C:\ProgramData\VMware\vCenterServer folder.  Do u know why it doesnt work? Or there is any confliction in the properties file?

I figured out that, using the script ls-cmd.bat can configure the lookup service. But, after login, there is no way to register vcenter server, I tried to use client-repoint.bat , but this script have some syntax error... and, depends on the tool regTool.cmd , which I can not find.... 

Do you know how to find the regTool.cmd , or how to register the vcenter ? thanks.

Hi,

 

Can you try to follow the instructions in the "vSphere Web Client SDK Programming Guide" -page 33 (https://code.vmware.com/web/sdk/65/web-client - the link is at the bottom of the page) and share the results?

 

Best Regards,

Yes, I tried, actually, I have a running 6.5 sdk registered a vcenter. But, at the same time, 5.5 sdk seems to be not reading those config files used by 6.5 sdk.
