SaltStack Config Integration show Blank Page

[VirExprt]

Hi ,

 

I have added StalkStack Config as the added product to the vRA 8.4.2 using LCM however, post-install/configure when I click on the "StalkStack Config" button, i get a completely blank page with no sign of anything.

 

I have installed VRSSC 8.4.2 with vRA8.4.2

During the deploy from LCM, did you tick the oh-so-tempting checkbox to integrate with IDM? I found that doing so (with 8.5, at least) resulted in exactly what you're describing. Leaving that box unchecked and logging into SSC with "local" credentials works much better for me.

  yes i did click on "oh-so-tempting" checkbox to integrate with VIDM but i could not find any integration of VRSSC in vIDM. I am going to destroy this integration and redo without it.

[johnbowdre]

 yep, that's what I wound up doing as well. I'm not sure how much of the "integration" is actually integrated at this point. I'm still feeling my way through the SSC stuff myself.

There's a quick and dirty workaround. Before I show it I have to make the usual disclaimer:

IT IS NEVER A GOOD IDEA TO TURN OFF CERTIFICATE VALIDATION, ESPECIALLY NOT IN PRODUCTION!

1. Log into your salt/raas-appliance as root.
2. Open /etc/raas/raas in an editor.
3. Add the following lines to the end of the file:

#vra bypass validate ssl
vra:
  validate_ssl: False

4. Restart the service:

systemctl stop raas && systemctl daemon-reload && systemctl start raas

 That worked like a charm in my lab environment, thanks!

[VirExprt]

Thanks  it also worked fine for me.

Actually, the issue is with the certificate chain. Install the root cert as per this article:
