vSphere Web Client VCSA 6.0 login problem as admin...

kcantrelVMware · ‎04-01-2016

Like someone else posted, but didn't get a definitive answer to, I too have a fresh install of VCSA appliance using "VMware-VCSA-all-6.0.0-3634788.iso" and when I log into the Web interface, my browser shows the VMware logo and paints it from dark blue to white, then the logo goes away for a few seconds, then window flashes (looks like a page redirection), then I'm back to the VMware logo page again. It will loop like that forever. I've tried all three browsers (IE, Firefox and Chrome) and they all do the same thing. I've ensured I have the latest version of Flash, have installed the Client Integration Plugin, and of course, rebooted the PC, all to no avail. I've even tried to on other PCs, all running Windows 7. Does anyone have any ideas what could cause this? Have any idea how to diagnose it?

I can log in fine with the VMware vShere Client, so the service seems to be up and running. There just seems to be a problem with the web interface, which I need to do additional settings of the vCenter service.

Any, and all, suggestions will be GREATLY appreciated.

I've got the same issue. vCenter Server v6.0.0.20000 (Hardware version of vCenter server is 8),

This is what I tried:

- log in to vSphere Web Client as a local root (using IP address of vSphere server) - not working (on 5 browsers: Edge / IE / Firefox / Chrome / Opera)

- log in to vSphere Web Client as a vsphere.local administrator (using IP address of vSphere server) - not working (on 5 browsers: Edge / IE / Firefox / Chrome / Opera)

- log in to vSphere Web Client as a local root (using FQDN of vSphere server) - not working (on 5 browsers: Edge / IE / Firefox / Chrome / Opera)

- log in to vSphere Web Client as a vsphere.local administrator (using FQDN of vSphere server) - not working (on 5 browsers: Edge / IE / Firefox / Chrome / Opera)

- I've disabled Antivirus software on my PC - didn't help

- I've disabled Windows firewall on my PC - didn't help

- I've restarted vsphere-client service - didn't help

- I've restarted vCenter server - didn't help

- I've updated Java on my PC - didn't help

- I've updated Flash on my PC - didn't help

- Checked if the security certificate is properly installed and trusted - it is.

I've found some errors in /var/log/vmware/vsphere-client/logs/vsphere_client_virgo.log (The main vSphere Web Client log, consisting of all communication between underlying Flex endpoint connections, internal tasks and events)

No I can't. I abandon the appliance months ago and just layered the vSphere client on top of another O/S (I can't remember, either Linux or Window Server). I was highly disappointed that I had to do that. I thought the whole idea to use the appliance is because it has been tested and should work out of the box. The fact that it worked just fine on top of another O/S implies there is something wrong with their installation and not my environment. I suggest you do the same, however, if you find a solution, I'm sure there will be someone else who finds the same problem and will appreciate hearing how you solved it.
