C# Using Single SignOn (SSPI) for Virtual Center 2.5.0.119598
I am trying to use passthru authentication using SSPI to work in my c# application. Here is a snippet of the code I am trying to get to work.
returns a reference for VMware.Vim.SessionManager
VMware.Vim.VimClient vimClient = new VMware.Vim.VimClient();
vimClient.Connect("10.x.x.x", CommunicationProtocol.Https, 443);
ManagedObjectReference serviceInstance = new ManagedObjectReference();
serviceInstance.Type = "ServiceInstance";
serviceInstance.Value = "ServiceInstance";
SessionManager sm = new SessionManager(vimClient, serviceInstance);
sm.LoginBySSPI(ct_b64, null);
I get an exception when I try to call this method LoginBySSPI
I am not sure that this is the correct approach, but I really would like to be able to login using single signon in my c# code but not having much success.
This works fine using PowerShell but I want to be able to do this directly using c# without using PS Pipelines.
Any suggesstions welcome.
Thanks

Use the method "addAuthorizationRole" to add the roles with same name successfully
I called the method "addAuthorizationRole" to add a role named "testRole" twice. In the vCenter Server 6.0, "AlreadyExists" fault occured. but in the vCenter Server 5.1&5.5, I can add the roles with same name successfully, is it a bug of vCenter Server 5.1&5.5?

vSphere Management SDK url is just blank page
I'm trying to get started using the vSphere API, reading the document at the link below I should be able to browse to my vcenter using "sdk" in the URL but it's blank. Also I read that you have to download the root certificates, but that link is not where this document claims it is. I'm using 5.5
Do I need to enable this SDK in vCenter?

Error ”Property is not user configurable” when importing OVF package
Hi,
I have a working functionality for importing OVF package in 5.1 and 5.5 but it fails for vCenter 6.0.
The functionality is similar to what mentioned here:
The HttpNfcLease is returning following LocalizedMethodFault for one of the property(CustomeRole) in the OVF Descriptor:
Fault: NonUserConfigurableProperty
Message: Property CustomRole is not user configurable.
I checked the OVF Descriptor for this property and the value for userConfigurable is false.
But the OVF package gets imported successfully when I make userConfigurable true.
What has changed for 6.0 that’s making it fail and was working for 5.1 and 5.5?
Could somebody guide to possible cause and resolution for the issue?

How can I clone and customize a template using Java vSphere SDK?
I am running a vCenter 6.0 server with a few RedHat Linux 7.x templates.
I am writing a program which must be able to deploy VMs from these templates with customized hostnames and IP addresses.
Using the sample VMClone.java causes the vCenter to log the error:
"A specified parameter was not correct: spec.location.pool"
I am assuming this is because I have to explicitly define the resource pool to use, though the only code the sample has regarding VM specs is:
private VirtualMachineCloneSpec cloneSpec = new VirtualMachineCloneSpec();
private VirtualMachineRelocateSpec relocSpec = new VirtualMachineRelocateSpec();
It appears that the VirtualMachineRelocateSpec object is what defines the resource pool and has methods to change it, though I cannot find any documentation on how exactly to change the pool.
Any help on fixing this error and customizing the hostname and IP during cloning would be greatly appreciated.

How to export efficiently the configuration of VM
Hello,
I need to export the hardware configuration (VirtualMachineConfigInfo) of a VM and create a VirtualMachineConfigSpec object by using the extracted infomation.
However, both objects are quite complicated, which contains lots of properties and objects of other types.
I'd like to know if there is an efficient way, a built-in method, which can export hardware configuration from a virtual machine easily,
or I really have to do it manually, which means, by traversing all the properties of the class VirtualMachineConfigInfo.
Thanks.

GuestOSIds for different editions.
VMware mentioned different GuestOSids for different OSs with different Editions in below link. But in CreateVM task through vSphere client shows only basic OS names and with OS editions like 'Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition' so, how VMware manages GuestOSId for all OS names having editions?
EX:
CreateVm tasks select OS as 'Microsoft Windows Server 2003 (64 bit)'
Provide ISO of 'Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition (64 bit)'
will this VM work successfully?

VimException Timeout, Session no longer exist
Hi Everyone,
I am writing VIMAPI via vb.net and after the application launches and calls to connect to my VCenter server via Client.Connect and SSPIHelper. Approximately 60 minutes of runtime and a call to a VIMAPI function a VIMException occurs for Unauthorized use. This is due to the current session time for the VIMAPI. Is there a function I can call to check to see if the current session is alive and well and call to reauthorize if needed?

C# CloneVM_Task Network Not Connected
Ok, so I would like to be able to clone a vm and have it's network come up already connected, and I feel I'm missing something incredibly simple.
https://github.com/jeffpatton1971/mod-vmware/blob/master/VMware/functions.cs#L402
That is where my clone code starts up, at line 539 I create my virtual network card. I loop through the devices in the source vm (one i'm cloning from) until I get to the network card that is attached to it. Yes, I know there could be multiple, in our environment we clone from specific machines and they only ever have one nic. I assign that device to my newly created network card. I create my devicespec and set it to edit and assing my network card to the device (I've recently updated this code a little, I now instantiate a virtualvmxnet3 object instead of virtualdevice object). I continue on my merry way assigning a new ip address, connecting it up to the proper vlan on the proper switch.
At line 600 I create a new connectinfo object, and set the device to be connected at startup, guest controlled and connected.
the clone happens just fine, I browse over to the vm and the network interface shows as not connected.
How can I programmatically connect this device to the network?
Thanks for checking this out!

Thumbprint mismatch
The Plugin does not work when we use VMCA to generate the certificate. I have used the certificate manager utility to generate the certificates and followed the link vSphere 6.0 Documentation Center. I have used the the 4th option "install the root certificates and replace all the certificates".
The root cause analysis suggests the following:
The plugin stores a list of valid thumbprints of all the servers present in the Vcenter using the Vcenter Api com.vmware.vise.usersession.ServerInfo.thumbprint. The list of thumbprints are not getting updated even after updating the certificates of the server using VMCA. So when the plugin tries to connect to the VCenter server it returns the updated thumbprint but it is not found in the list of valid thumbprints. The plugin throws the exception that the thumbprint does not match.
Steps tried:
Used the latest Vcenter 6.0 WebClient vsphere-client-lib.jar to build the java project and deploy in Vcenter.
Restarted all the vmware services using service-control --start --all
Restarted the Vcenter Server.
Cleared the browser cache.
Unregistered and registered the plugin.
Used the certool CLI to manually create the certificates and vecs-cli to add it to VECS.
Clarifications required:
Need to know if there are any post-installation steps which needs to be performed.
The folder C:\ProgramData\VMware\vCenterServer\cfg\sso\keys still contains the old certificates. Is there a way to update them?
Any apis available to refresh the serverInfo?
