Saving external web server authentication information

[Gurminder_Singh]

I have written an external web server that is vcenter plugin. External web server provides data via REST API to vCenter. Since it is an external web server, HTTP request to it also needs to be authenticated.

When plugin is registered using ExtensionManager, where can the authentication information be saved so that it can be used later on.

This is not a Web Client SDK question per se but I believe you can save additional data with your vCenter extension information.  See the doc for vCenter extensions.

Referring to the following guide:

http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-60/topic/com.vmware.ICbase/PDF/web_client_sdk_600_pg.pdf

Referring to page 110 and 111 there is not place where extra information about the extension can be included.

Can you refer to documentation where additional data can be saved.

The online doc for vCenter server extensions can be found here:

vSphere 6.0 Documentation Center
