I was not aware it accepted both short and FQDN if DNS is properly setup, that is awesome! I quickly glanced at the doc and I remember we had to pass /vim for the vCMA page and /sdk for the vCenter URL. I'm glad this is the case that it'll auto-resolve so long as DNS is setup properly.

Thanks for the information, I'm just happy this works pretty well even on Edge network, I was expecting this would have a requirement on either a 3G or WiFi connection. Great job

I was just about to go to sleep and a thought came up:

It would be nice to have finer granular security control on who can access the vCMA page, perhaps allow it to lock it down by specific user accounts, MAC addresses or even specific vCenter instances that a user can connect to with certain access all, some or read only. It would be nice to have a VI Client Plugin that can be administrator through a tab perhaps, just some some thoughts before bed.

For our network we used the ipsec VPN setting built into the iphone but there are other modes available for other network types too. We did need to talk to our network folks to get all the right settings but once we had them it was nice and smooth.

I am sure I am missing something simple in the documentation, but how do we login to the admin web console or root on the appliance? I have the appliance imported and running, but I can't seem to get in to configure it. I have tried all my host passwords, vCenter logins and such.

Thanks for any help and I look forward to checking this vCenter applicance out!

I think I understand. You don't have to login to the admin interface at port 5480 to connect to vCenter
