web client as simply “administrator” either; the user will either have to provide the
active directory domain or the SSO domain along with the username and password
to successfully login.
The options here, for the vCenter Server Appliance, are to log into RVC as the Active
Directory “administrator” or as the SSO administrator. For this to succeed, the AD
domain or the SSO domain must also be included in the login (when localos is
chosen as the default). For SSO, this would look similar to:
vcsa:~ # rvc vsphere.local\administrator:vmware@192.168.1.100
0 /
1 192.168.1.100/
>
Here is another example of logging is as the SSO Administrator, but typing the
password at the prompt:
ie-vcsa-02:~ # rvc
Host to connect to (user@host): administrator@vsphere.local@localhost
password:
0 /
1 localhost/
>
For Active Directory, where an AD domain is vmwcs.com, this would look similar to:
vcsa:~ # rvc vmwcs\administrator:vmware@192.168.1.100
0 /
1 192.168.1.100/
>
Note that if any of the passwords contains a special character, it will need to be
escaped out with a “\”. See the following example where the password is
vmware123!:
vcsa:~ # rvc vmwcs\administrator:vmware123\!@192.168.1.100
0 /
1 192.168.1.100/
>
By now, the reader should have enough information to successfully login to RVC. In
the next section, navigating RVC and running various RVC commands is examined.
