Configuring vCSA

When the deployment of the vCSA is complete, as part of the installation, the vSphere Web Client and the new HTML5 client are available to access the appliance. Both clients rely on the Tomcat web service to access the appliance, and no third-party software is required. As explained in Chapter 10, Deployment Workflow and Component Installation, in vSphere 6.5, login to the appliance can be done using both flash-based and HTML5-based web clients.

In your favorite browser, type the following addresses:

  • Flash-based client (vSphere Web Client): https://<VCSA_IP>/vsphere-client
  • HTML5 client (vSphere Client): https://< VCSA _IP>/ui
