I'm also having an issue with the client, but it's in the form of usage.  It seems a bit flaky in that when going into our registered domain sometimes it'll have the correct information like number of chassis and fabric interconnects and sometimes it'll only have some of the information.  I also attempt opening up a KVM session with any of our VMware-based blades and receive the error "This action is not available for any of the selected objects at this time." within the webpage.  We're running vCenter 5.5 u2 and v1.0(2) of the UCS plugin.

Senthil,

We are not aware of any issue with AD authentication in the plugin. Please attach the web client log. 

Did you try launching UCSM GUI with same credentials.

Vaibhav,

Thanks . I found the solution. it is not AD Authentication issue. the user Name format is incorrect. I used My AD domain ID for UCS domain registration it did not worked.  logged in UCSM with my AD account and Verfied the UCSM remotely Authenticated users details and found it was logged in as ucs-mydomainname\my user ID . used the same  format while register the UCS domain. it got worked. this Problem resolved.

I got another problem , I am trying to launch KVM from Webclient but getting error message  that "viewer has terminated" . Not able to open the KVM. please help me on this.

Senthil,

Are you getting this error only with vCenter plugin or you also get it when you launch kvm console via UCSM GUI.

Vaibhav,

Senthil,

You should look for the log in the machine where vsphere web client is installed.

Log Location:

Windows:  C:\ProgramData\vmware\vSphere Web Client\serviceability\logs\vsphere_client_virgo.log

VCenter Appliance/Linux: /var/log/vmware/vsphere-client/logs/vsphere_client_virgo.log

If you still can't find it out, please give your mail id and we will setup a webex or raise a case with TAC.
