I have downloaded to test the client in LAB So let’s see how to Install & Configure vSphere HTML5 Web Client. Installation on Windows based vCenter Server & vCenter Appliance is different. Here i will be using the Windows based vCenter Server.

Hi,

these are there the steps to setup the new HTML5 Client within an vSphere 6 environment.

Download the latest version fling appliance h5ngcVA-3.41.0.0-9687895_OVF10.ova and server-configure.bat and deploy the appliance to your vSphere environment. Adjust IP (OVF Import) and MAC address.

Copy server-configure.bat to your Windows vCenter Server.

If you do not use the default installation pathes (in this example D:Programs) edit server-configure.bat and adjust KEYTOOL, VECS_CLI, VMAFD_CLI and CLIENT_DIR (default of CLIENT_DIR works for me) environment variables

REM Path to javas' keytool
SET KEYTOOL=D:ProgramsVMwarevCenter Serverjrebinkeytool.exe
REM Path to vecs binary
SET VECS_CLI=D:ProgramsVMwarevCenter Servervmafddvecs-cli.exe
REM Path to vmafd binary
SET VMAFD_CLI=D:ProgramsVMwarevCenter Servervmafddvmafd-cli.exe
...
echo Creating ds.properties file...
SET CLIENT_DIR=%PROGRAMDATA%VMwarevCenterServercfgvsphere-client

Open a cmd shell with administrator permissions and run server-configure.bat

If you are on vCenter 6.0 U2 and onwards the error The system cannot find the file specified. can be ignored.

Check if the generated files has sizes > 0 bytes

Ensure that an IP Pool, for the network the HTML5 Client Appliance should belongs to, exists and is properly configured (DNS Servers, DNS Suffix, DNS Searchpath…) . Otherwise the start of the Appliance fails with Cannot initialize property “vami.gateway.vSphere_- Web_Client_Appliance’.Network ‘Network 1’ has no associated network protocol profile.”

Power on the Appliance. Login as root (default password demova) at vSphere console and start the ssh daemon temporary.

For security reasons change the root password.

Then Login as root via ssh and create the following folders

Go back to your Windows vCenter and copy the already generated files to the HTML5 Client Appliance. I use putty’s pscp command.

Start the HTML5 Client daemon at the appliance

Open a browser https://IPOfYourAppliance:9443

This redirects you to the Webclient Login Page. After logged on successfully you get redirected to the HTML5 Frontend.

To Upgrade an exiting installation download the installer bsx file and copy the file to the appliance

Make a snapshot of your HTML5 Applicane and login

There are three client options for Mac OS X.:

  • The OpenVPN command line client. Most users prefer a graphical client, so thisoption will not be covered.

  • Tunnelblick, a free option available for download at the Tunnelblick Website.

  • The commercial Viscosity client. At the time of this writing, it costs $14USD for a single seat. If OpenVPN is used frequently, Viscosity is a muchnicer client and well worth the cost.

Both Tunnelblick and Viscosity are easily installed, with no configurationoptions during installation.

Configuring Viscosity¶

When using the Viscosity client, it can be configured manually or the OpenVPNClient Export package may be used to import the configuration. Viscosityprovides a GUI configuration tool that can be used to generate the underlyingOpenVPN client configuration. The CA and certificates can be imported manually,and all of the parameters can be set by hand. This section cover importing aViscosity bundle from the export package.

  • Download a copy of the Viscosity bundle for the client from the OpenVPNClient Export package

  • Locate the saved file, which will end in .visc.zip indicating that it is acompressed archive

  • Copy this exported bundle to a folder on the Mac

  • Double click this file and it will expand to Viscosity.visc

  • Double click Viscosity.visc and Viscosity will open and import theconnection as shown in Figure Viscosity Import

  • Delete the Viscosity.visc directory and the .zip archive

  • Viscosity will be running after import, and may be found in the menu bar

  • Click the lock icon added to the menu bar at the top of the screen

  • Click Preferences to check that the configuration was imported as shown inFigure Viscosity Preferences

Viscosity Preferences

  • Check the Connections area to see if the connection imported successfullyas shown in Figure Viscosity View Connections.

  • Close the Preferences screen

  • Click the lock in the menu bar

  • Click the name of the VPN connection to connect as shown in FigureViscosity Connect. After a few seconds, the lock in the menu barwill turn green to show it connected successfully.

Viscosity Connect

  • Click on it and then click Details as shown in FigureViscosity Menu to see connection information

On the first screen (Figure Viscosity Details), the connectionstatus, connected time, the IP assigned to the client, and the IP of the serverare all displayed. A bandwidth graph is displayed at the bottom of the screen,showing the throughput in and out of the OpenVPN interface.

Viscosity Details

Clicking the up/down arrow button in the middle of the details screen displaysadditional network traffic statistics. This shows the traffic sent within thetunnel (TUN/TAP In and Out), as well as the total TCP or UDP traffic sentincluding the overhead of the tunnel and encryption. For connections usingprimarily small packets the overhead is considerable with all VPN solutions. Thestats shown in Figure Viscosity Details: Traffic Statistics are from only afew pings traversing the connection. The traffic sent in bringing up theconnection is also counted here, so the initial overhead is higher than what itwill be after being connected for some time. Also, the typical VPN traffic willhave larger packet sizes than 64 byte pings, making the total overhead anddifference between these two numbers considerably less.

Clicking on the third icon in the middle of the Details screen shows theOpenVPN log file (Figure Viscosity Details: Logs). If there is any troubleconnecting, review the logs here to help determine the problem. See alsoTroubleshooting OpenVPN.
