Error with Plugin vsphere Authenticaton Proxy

Hello,

I have an issue with the vsphere authentication proxy component in my lab environment.

The autodeploy and the authentication proxy components are installed on a separate (w2k8r2) server then the vcenter server.
Hotfix KB981506 is also installed

The autodeploy component works without any issue but the authentication proxy component does not work.

I followed the installation and configuration instructions

http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/index.jsp?topic=/com.vmware.vsphere.install.doc_50/GUID-EA920335-2...
http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/index.jsp?topic=/com.vmware.vsphere.security.doc_50/GUID-31D688AF-...

The cam user was also been created in the active directory during installation process

I also checked Configuring vCenter Server Support Tools to work in a Wide Area Network
http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=200437...

When I run the plugin manager I receive the following error occures:


Translation from german:

while downloading the script plugin from http://ip:51914/extension.xml the following error occured:
the Server was not able to interpret the client request(the remotserver made an error 404 not found

When I try to call the url http://ip:51914/extension.xml via browser I receive the message that the url was not found

telnet on port 51914 and 51915 works

I suppose that there is maby a permission issue


The configuration files are located  under C:\ProgramData\VMware\vSphere Authentication Proxy and seem to be ok
No errors in the log folder. cam.log is empty and camadapter.log has a few lines (monitor is initialized and stared etc.)


I also uninstalled the vpshere authentication proxy server a few times. The uninstall procedure seems to work well because all files
are cleaned up. The cam user was also automatically deleted from active directory

Thanks for helping.

regards

Andreas
