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.

@johnbowdre 🤣😂 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]

@VirExprt 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

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

[VirExprt]

Thanks @prydin it also worked fine for me.

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