I recently upgraded from 6.7 to 7.0 U3 version but when I tried to login alias name getting SSO authentication error. In order to fix the issue we have to alias name into vCenter VM.
I noticed that it works FQDN name and IP address but only issue on alias name which has short name.
Implementation plan:
> Take the snapshot/backup of vCenter VM's
> Log in to the vCenter Server via SSH/PuTTY session as root, and enable shell
> Stop the vSphere client service using below command
> service-control --stop vsphere-ui
> Navigate to the vsphere-ui location to edit webclient.properties
> cd /etc/vmware/vsphere-ui/
> Before editing take a backup of webclient.properties using below command,
> cp webclient.properties /var/tmp/webclient.properties.bak
> Add the desired shortname under the sso.serviceprovider.alias.whitelist
> vi webclient.properties
> Type i to enter insert mode
> Remove the comment (#) for sso.serviceprovider.alias.whitelist=
> Add the shortname (comma separated if there are multiple values)
> Save and exit the VI editor by pressing Esc to exit insert mode, then wq!
> Example:
--------------------------------------
sso.serviceprovider.alias.whitelist=sxxx03-mgt-XX
Start the vSphere client service.
service-control --start vsphere-ui
--------------------------------------
> Perform the health checks on vCenter's.
---------------------------------------------------
