best browser for Vcenter 6.7 ?

We recently completed our upgrade to 6.7 and I am looking for some feedback on a preferred browser for the HTML5 and Web Client.

The issues we are seeing are related to integrated authentication, the enhanced Authentication plugin and other GUI features.

  1. IE Browser - Enhanced Authentication plugin is not recognized by IE, it constantly asks to download the plugin, and if it is downloaded, the only setup choice is to uninstall the plugin.
    1. Web Client does not work due to Adobe Flash Player not being recognized - Adobe Shockwave Flash does not show up in installed plugins
  2. Chrome Browser - Integrated Authentication only works with Enhanced Authentication plug-in.
    1. When selected it provides the proper credentials for integrated authentication and automatically signs in, (with pop-up prompt requesting authorization). If I do not select to use the Enhanced Authentication Plug-in, and enter the user ID and p/w manually it does not authenticate, and I get an error, "Invalid credentials"

Any help is appreciated w/these, they are not critical as I can still access and manage our environment, but only through what seems to be unorthodox methods.

Thnx

Hello,

I normally and frequently use the google chrome, it is the perfect one with vsphere client FLEX and HTML5. Check the following: vSphere Web Client Software Requirements

If you are facing some problems, kindly reset your browser options and clear all caches and update your flash player.

+1 on clearing caches! I actually sometimes use private browsing mode so that I can simply close the window after I've finished :slightly_smiling_face:
