-passthroughauth now working with VC ?

[vcpguy]

Guys, I am trying to get this passthroughauth to work and for some reason, it is not working. AM I doing it right ?

I use "C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\Virtual Infrastructure Client\Launcher\VpxClient.exe" -passthroughauth -s my VC's Ip address

Thanks

What is your web service port for https?

"C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\Virtual Infrastructure Client\Launcher\VpxClient.exe" -s -passthroughAuth

Not sure if the order makes a difference. Also your VC must be on the domain, and of course your ID should be a member of Administrators group or some group with access to that machine, and the rights on VICneed to be set for you to access the cluster / VC with appropriate rights. The machine you are connecting from ALSO must be on the domain and you have to be logged on AS the domain user you want to connect with.

Then if all that is in place, you should be good.

Yeah, I was curious about the case sensitivity and whether a FQDN was required. I tested both and it worked both ways.

I just use "-passthroughAuth" without the "-s hostname". The hostname stays cached and it gives me a chance to change to an ESX server if I need to...
