Problems with OVFLTOOL 4.5.0 and vCloud Director 10.4

cn_mweber — Wed, 05 Apr 2023 04:31:45 GMT

Trying to upload a OVF using latest OVFTOOL Failed with the Message "Error: Connection error: Failed to connect to host due to URL using bad/illegal format or missing URL, please see the logs for more details" - The URL is correct and worked on older versions.

On Verbose log I can see that login to vcloud director is fine.

Is there a solution or workaround to fix it?

Re: Bug on getting CIVAPP from CIVM if VApp Name has "+"-sign in Name

Yes, and it did also not Work.

Note that also the VApp Property ( (Get-CIVM Test1).VApp ) a CIVM is also in this cases...

Bug on getting CIVAPP from CIVM if VApp Name has "+"-sign in Name

Today I found a bug - If a VAPP has a "+"-sign in his name - PowerCLI cannot find it.

For Example:

VAPP: "DMZ+TEST" with VM "Server1"

Failed: (Get-CIVM "Server1").VApp - this is null
Failed: Get-CIVApp "DMZ+TEST" - this is null

Work: Get-CIVApp "DMZ*TEST" - This returns the correct VApp

List users from Group using PowerCLI

Hi,

how can I retrieve users from SSO-Domain (VIAccount -User) assigned to SSO-Domain group (VIAccount -Group)?

I can list users and groups from SSO-Domain but I cannot find mapping between them.

For example: How can I list users assigned to group "VSPHERE.LOCAL\Administrators"

Best regards,

Martin
