How do I access the vSphere Web Client in VCSA 6.5 through a firewall?
When I try to access https://wan-ip-of-vcenter/vsphere-client it redirects me to https://lan-ip-of-vcenter/vsphere-client.
Well, I had to introduce DNS to the vCenter VCSA 6.5 installation to make it work. As stated during the VCSA 6.5 installation the DNS or IP is hardcoded into the SSL setup, and as such is used to communicate with vSphere Web Client.
What IP is set as management nic for vcenter?
I think it is the routing which needs to be in place if you are using NAT ?
Thanks,
