Chrome 45<\/strong> has been released on 1st September taking NPAPI completely out from the browser disabling the VMware\u00a0Client Integration Plugin functionality in vSphere Web Client.<\/p>\n

The plugin is no longer working also using other browsers<\/strong> like Firefox or Internet Explorer.<\/p>\n

As result, in Chrome the Use Windows session authentication<\/strong> option is not working anymore and you have to login by manually entering<\/strong> the credentials.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"cipnolongerworking02\"<\/p>\n

Unfortunately the login process is not the only feature that has been affected. Also the deployment of an OVF template<\/strong> is not working since the plugin is a required component.<\/p>\n

\"cipnolongerworking03\"<\/p>\n

Trying the access using Firefox 40<\/strong> you receive an error related to an untrusted connection<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"cipnolongerworking04\"<\/p>\n

Same situation with Internet Explorer.<\/p>\n

\"cipnolongerworking05\"<\/p>\n

Reinstalling the VMware plugin doesn't fix<\/strong> this matter and a different solution\u00a0must be found.<\/p>\n

\"cipnolongerworking06\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Opera browser<\/h2>\n

Trying to find a working solution, I found out Opera at the moment is the only browser<\/strong> that still works with VMware Client Integration Plugin. Normally I don't use this browser but\u00a0I had to install the browser on my computers to manage vSphere.<\/p>\n

From Opera website, download<\/a> and run the installer.<\/p>\n

\"cipnolongerworking14\"<\/p>\n

When the installation has completed, type in the browser the vCenter Server address. The Use Windows session authentication<\/strong> feature is available to login. Enable the option and click Login<\/strong> to access vSphere Web Client.<\/p>\n

\"cipnolongerworking15\"<\/p>\n

Browser may ask to update Flash Player. Click Update Flash<\/strong> to proceed.<\/p>\n

\"cipnolongerworking16\"<\/p>\n

Using Opera, the vSphere Web Client is fully working.<\/p>\n

\"cipnolongerworking17\"<\/p>\n

Also the deployment of OVF packages works perfectly.<\/p>\n

\"cipnolongerworking18\"<\/p>\n

I think time has come for VMware to quickly implement a new web client maybe HTML based<\/strong> to avoid all these problems.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Update<\/h2>\n

Source virtuallyGhetto.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

A new version of CIP package has been released to restore the plugin functionality that no longer relies on NPAPI<\/strong>. The fix works for both vSphere 6.0 and\u00a0vSphere 6.0 Update 1.<\/p>\n

Download the Client Integration Plugin<\/a>\u00a0from VMware website.<\/p>\n
