Hi,

This use case (Web Client + vRO embedded in vRA) is not supported.

There are a couple of issues:

  • vRO embedded in vRA is accessible behind proxy on port 443 (not on port 8281 as the standalone vRO)
  • vRO embedded in vRA is configured with vIDM/vRA authentication, but Web Client uses SSO/SAML authentication. SAML tokens sent by vRO plugin in Web Client cannot be validated when vRO is configured with vIDM authentication, so all REST API calls to vRO server will fails.

So if you want to use vRO integration with vSphere Web Client, you will need to deploy a standalone vRO appliance.
