Hopefully this would only be some admins/helpdesk types doing PW resets since you must login to the WebView in order to run the workflow... anyway, you can follow this tutorial for a basic Webview in vCO:

http://www.vcoteam.info/articles/learn-vco/107-create-a-simple-vco-self-service-vm-provisioning-port...

As for the other pre-requisites:

vCO must have the AD plug-in installed and configured to use SSL when communicating to your AD environment. This is a requirement for Creating users with passwords and/or resetting passwords.

When you get to the step in the tutorial for mapping a workflow, you'll want to use the "Change a user password" workflow. This is an Active Directory library workflow that is available after installing the AD plug-in and restarting the vCenter Orchestrator Server service.

Hi Burke ,

I have followed the step given in above refer link: Create a Simple vCO Self Service VM Provisioning Portal - Part 3

Export Webview to Development Folder

After your vCenter Orchestrator Server service has completed the restart, launch your vCenter Orchestrator Client and login with admin rights. (Detailed information on valid code syntax may be found in the vCenter Orchestrator Developers guide - Visit the official VMware vCO Documentation page)

1. Click on "Web Views" in the left pane
2. Select the "Request Portal" Web View
3. In the right pane, click on the "Elements" tab
4. Now, click the "Export to directory" link
5. Browse to the "c:\webviews\request_portal" folder that you created earlier and click the "Export" link in the bottom right corner of the window. (Remember that the specific webview "request_portal" folder must be a subdirectory of the folder specified as the Web view directory in the advanced configuration)
6. Now confirm that you can once again browse to the Request Portal at http://yourVCOserver:8280/vmo/request_portal . You should see:

After this steps I m getting following error:

default page defined

The webview 'Request Portal' has no default page defined. A default page is a page located at the root of the webview and named default.html or index.html.

Please provide the solution for the same.

This typically happens if you accidentally import the webview files at the wrong folder level... check your Webview Elements tab ... confirm that the "Path" column does not start with a folder ... for example, see the vco_check webview provided from one of our community members ( PREVIEW: vCO vCheck 😞

Note how the "default.html" file does not have a Path defined - this means it is in the root of the "vco_check" webview folder.
